The District of Columbia primary elections are right around the corner on September 14, 2010, and many choice DC Council seats are up for grabs, as well as the close race for Mayor.  DC Lawyers for Youth wants all eligible voters to be informed about their options, particularly when it comes to matters affecting youths and the DC juvenile justice system.    

To that end, DCLY, along with our colleagues at the DC Alliance of Youth Advocates, will be hosting a candidate forum focused on youth issues in the District.  This forum will provide an opportunity for you to hear DC Council, Council Chair and At-Large candidates discuss issues facing DC youth and their families.
