#AB1186, a bill co-sponsored by FLY, has been signed into #California law! The REPAIR Act will help relieve the heavy financial burdens placed on youth by ending new restitution fines, vacating old debts, and ensuring a fairer process moving forward. Though amended, this is a monumental win for something we’ve been fighting for, alongside our incredible partners, for years. Thank you to everyone who stood with us in this fight! Let’s continue striving towards a more just future. ✊🏽 #AB1186 #REPAIRAct #DebtFreeJustice #YouthJustice #CaliforiaLegislation

Leading impact and change is not a solitary journey. It's about coming together to align on what matters most. Our recent FLY #leadership offsite was a powerful opportunity for our team to connect, collaborate, and chart a path forward to move toward our shared goals and mission. #nonprofit #innovation #futurism #teamwork #alignment #mission

Today, we’re #celebrating Gabriel, who was officially dismissed from probation in court and was recognized by Honorary Judge Erica Yew. Gabriel, a TAY (transition-aged youth) who has overcome incredible challenges, embodies the resilience, strength, and endless potential we see in so many of our young people. We couldn’t be more proud and wish Gabriel great success in his journey! Gabriel participated in STAY FLY, a program that provides one-on-one support, law-related education, and builds social-emotional skills for young adults as they transition back to their community. Gabriel's success reminds us that support for transition-aged youth is crucial! #YoungLeaders #YouthSuccess #bethechange #nonprofit

We are proud to have been a part of Y.O.U.T.H. Day! (Yes to Opportunities to Uplift, Thrive, and Heal)!

Together, we rallied, raised our voices, and shared our vision for a future where youth justice empowers and heals.
