About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.

The Cradle to Prison Crisis must be converted to Cradle to Education/Vocation/Trade. Those stats listed above are beyond depressing they are terrifying!! If you take a look at my page or the thirteenth amendment it becomes even clearer of how the inequality of youth and adults making a life in prison- is not so much a matter of so called "circumstance" as it is a clearly stated and devised method to maintain slavery at and after a time slavery was deemed to be unconstitutional.
Together as we all come to join hands as educated/informed people our voices will not be able to be silenced and action will change the course of the expedited one way road to prison for so many. Hope to see you at some of the events and trainings. carol
