Youth Alliance for Intersectional Justice (YAIJ)

In response to harmful interactions between police and racialized neurodiverse youth, Youth Alliance for Intersectional Justice will implement consultations with community agencies that work with racialized neurodiverse youth, and will host education forums with young people to strategize improved interactions between police and racialized neurodiverse youth in the Greater Toronto Area. Upon completion of these activities, an impact report with recommendations will be produced. Resources for racialized neurodiverse youth will also be created and housed on an online database, supporting them to access legal information regarding their rights that avoids legalese and complex content.
