We know what happens when children are charged and treated as adults. We urge the Missouri legislature to reject SB 1, which would lead to children as young as 12 to be considered for certification as adults.
As Dr. Yusef Salaam of the Exonerated Five notes in his op-ed, "There is nothing to be gained by treating children as adults. Neuroscience shows that children’s brains are not developed enough to understand the consequences of their actions or to communicate effectively in their own defense. As happened in our case, young people are three times more likely than adults to make false confessions."
Call this line hosted by the ACLU MO *TODAY* to connect with your legislator -573-282-5454.
A 12-year-old is not an adult. Missouri must reject law to put children in adult prison

It was nice to be able to watch virtually. Thanks for all you do
Was trying to watch the virtual event. Do you have to buy a ticket?
Go Trish! Good luck to you all. Keep up the good fight.
If you have a client by the name of Oliver Smith sitting in the Kansas prison. I believe he's an innocent man I've never met him never spoke to him. But the woman whom supposedly murdered ..... I have met her husband.
If you’re a sports fan (especially a KC sports memorabilia collector), you’ll want to head over to our Faces of Innocence silent auction ASAP. You might just snag a Patrick Mahomes signed football… themip2020.ggo.bid/bidding/package-browse
