Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (EIN 27-3761788) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (CFSY) National Convening brings together a dynamic and diverse group of directly impacted leaders (including members of our Incarcerated Children’s Advocacy Network, National Family Network, and Survivor Network), legislators, corporate partners, attorneys, parole board members, legislators, national allies, and supporters from around the country to come together as one community. We convene to learn about current challenges, priorities, and strategies in the movement to end extreme sentencing of youth while demonstrating the power of proximity, vulnerability, shared humanity, and a unified fight against injustice.
So many people in our network have lived through egregious sentences, endured trauma, and overcome unfathomable challenges to be present with us and ready to challenge systems of oppression. Though we are a diverse community and come from different life experiences, we all play a role in the movement to end extreme sentencing of children in the United States. We are so grateful for the opportunity to gather together, support one another, and chart a bold path forward.
At our 2024 National Convening, we had the honor of celebrating our 15th anniversary alongside community members from across the country!

Celebrating 15 Years
In September 2024, we gathered in Washington, DC to commemorate our 15th anniversary, uniting under the theme “Hope In Action: Charting a Bold Path Forward.” We reflected on the past 15 years of the movement we’ve built alongside you, and together, we looked boldly to the future. We celebrated milestones that felt personal to each of us – 10 years of the Incarcerated Children’s Advocacy Network, 15 years of the National Family Network, and the incredible growth of this movement and community since 2009.
