Locked Up: (Over)Incarceration of LGBTQ Youth of Color will be a moderated panel discussion of how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth of color are disproportionately impacted by the U.S. criminal justice system.

Representatives from the Coalition for Queer People of Color and Students Organizing Against Prisons will interview three policy experts on this issue before opening up to questions from the audience. The night will also include smaller group discussions and a reception following the main event.

Our three expert panelists include:

+ Kenyon Farrow, Independent activist and former Executive Director of Queer for Economic Justice
+ Maya Rupert, Federal Policy Director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights
+ Jack Harrison, Policy Analyst at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute

Cosponsored by: The Coalition for Queer People of Color, Students Organizing Against Prisons, the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI) and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy
