PUEBLO Launches Oakland Young Policy Builders

PUEBLO is partnering with Concerned Black Men of Oakland to launch Oakland Youth Policy Builders, a program for young people from 14 to 23 years old. Participants will work to improve the relationship between the Oakland police officers and Oakland's youth. Utilizing the PUEBLO survey of over 700 high school students about their interactions with police, these young policy builders will analyze the data and propose changes in policy that are intended to lessen tensions and provide for a more constructive relationship.

Many of the youth attended PUEBLO's recent dinner and explained the purpose of their work to date.
