Cecilia-Josephine of Young Women’s Freedom Center

We’re excited to introduce our new Voices from the Frontlines series, centering the voices of local organizers and activists and the amazing work they’re doing to make social change possible in Los Angeles.

In our first installment of the series, we’re thrilled to be spotlighting the vibrant and inspiring voice of Ceclia-Josephine, youth activist from the Young Women’s Freedom Center.

During the recent #FreeThe50 community action led by Liberty Hill partners from the Liberation Fund, Cecila shared a powerful original poem with us about the urgent need for community-led solutions to end system involvement for girls and gender-expansive youth.

Visit our Liberation Fund page to learn more about the local fight to end the incarceration of girls and gender-expansive youth, and how to get involved.
