Led by the very families impacted by the court systems, De-Bug originated participatory defense a community organizing model for youth, families, and community members to impact the outcome of cases and transform the landscape of power in the court system. The participatory defense framework combines multiple strategies including case advocacy, leadership development of youth and families affected by the justice system, and community organizing to develop and implement equitable justice policies.Since 2008, De-Bugs participatory defense activities have resulted in 16,081 years of time saved potential court sentences and incarceration time to youth and community members. The tremendous power of participatory defense has contributed to families being made whole, loved ones home, and numerous youths going to college instead of spending their transitional years in prison. Because De-Bugs organizational compass has always been guided by the ones most affected by the criminal justice system, their organizing campaigns have been led, championed, and won by the very families touched by the criminal justice system. Through the leadership of De-Bug families, theyve won changes in policing, charging of gang enhancements, separation of immigration and criminal justice policies, and improvements of conditions in detention.Nationally, they have built a field. De-Bug has grown our Participatory DefenseNetwork from 11 hubs to now over 40 all trained in the principles, strategies, andtactics of participatory defense. At any given day of the week, there is aparticipatory defense meeting happening around the country, where families aresupporting each other to navigate through the criminal, juvenile and immigrationsystems that threaten to tear families apart. And they are winning keeping families and communities whole, while fueling a ground up movement to end mass incarceration. 605100 Media and Storytelling:De-Bug believes story-telling and media creation is a vehicle for individualtransformation and can shape the way issues and moments are understood,conceptualized, and imagined by the larger public.
