Rally August 23rd!!

DCAYA is supporting this rally on August 23rd in conjunction with the Justice for DC Youth Coalition and other youth advocates to ensure that the Crime Bill and Curfew ENDS at 90 days!!

Led and planned by young people, this is a great opportunity for you to show your support and a great experience for young people that you may work with.

Come out and help us send the message that instead of the three C's -

CURFEWS

CAMERAS

and anti-CONFIDENTIALITY measures

We stand for the three E's -

EDUCATION

youth EMPOWERMENT

and EMPLOYMENT

STOP THE WAR ON YOUTH

WEDNESDAY, August 23,2006

11am-1pm

FREEDOM PLAZA

Pennsylvania Ave. between 13th and 14th !

by : Federal Triangle Metro

Directly across from the Mayor's Office

END the Crime Bill at 90 days!

The mayor's emergency crime bill will not reduce crime or increase public safety. Instead it will unfairly target youth and fails to address's the real issues that lead to crime in DC!

Fight the youth curfew, as well as new cameras, new court procedures, and anti-confidentiality measures which will have a negative impact on our city's youth. Come to show support, spread the word, and work o! n the petition effort.
