(sample) Cold Call Script:
Senator _____,We know you are currently in the process of coming to a compromise on Raise the Age. With only a few legislative sessions left, we urge you to vote for comprehensive Raise the Age reform that will remove 16 and 17 year olds from the adult criminal justice system and place them in family court. The recent deaths of Kalief Browder and Kenan Davis illustrate the urgency to pass Raise the Age to prevent additional deaths and abuse of New York State children.
Sample Tweets:
@______ Raise The Age! Take youth out of the adult #criminaljustice system and place them in family court. #RaiseTheAgeNOW
@______Protect #NYState Children! Take them out of adult jails and prisons! #RaiseTheAge #KaliefBrowder
