New data shows that incarceration disparities between Black, Latino, and Tribal youth and their white peers have increased over the last decade. Here’s what you need to know: ▫️ Black youth are 5.6 times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth. ▫️Tribal youth are almost 4 times times as likely to be incarcerated than their white peers. ▫️Latino youth are at least twice as likely – and in some states, more than 3 times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth in 11 states. These aren't just statistics, this is a systemic failure that needs to change. Equality in the system means protecting all youth. We must invest in community-based alternatives and diversion programs that support youth rather than criminalize them. #CareNotCages
