LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Hill Foundation is proud to announce the 2023 grantee partners for The Liberation Fund, a new initiative that invests in community-led solutions to end the incarceration of girls and gender expansive youth in Los Angeles County.
Liberty Hill created the Liberation Fund to ensure that no young woman or young person across the gender spectrum spends time in youth prisons when they could instead receive more effective, safe, and appropriate support within their local communities.
The newly formed Liberation Fund will prioritize the unique needs of Black, Brown, Indigenous girls of color and gender expansive youth, who comprise approximately 20% of the youth justice population.
