The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (CFSY) is a racial justice and equity organization working to end extreme sentencing of youth in the US. Co-Executive Director Xavier McElrath-Bey, who was incarcerated at 13 and transformed his life through education and advocacy, shares his personal experience and work with CFSY. The organization's mission focuses on legislative advocacy, coalition-building, public education, and strategic partnerships to support formerly incarcerated youth in reentry and healing. CFSY aims to change punitive systems to transformative, restorative, and healing for communities. Xavier highlights the importance of recognizing the trauma experienced by youth in the justice system and providing them with opportunities for redemption and second chances. He emphasizes the need for employers to adopt fair chance hiring practices, which can help individuals overcome barriers to employment and reintegrate into society. By supporting formerly incarcerated youth, CFSY seeks to promote racial and social justice and ensure that no one is left behind.
