For Our Boys is dedicated to protecting and empowering children impacted by the justice system; changing lives, changing laws and creating a future where every child can truly flourish.
Behind Every Number Is a Child.
These are Our Boys.
The disparities are clear. Change isn’t optional — it’s overdue.
For Our Boys, we lead the way.
Why Boys?
Because boys — especially boys of color — are too often misjudged, misunderstood, and punished instead of protected. They face harsher discipline, fewer second chances, and systems that see danger instead of potential. For Our Boys exists to change that; to remind the world that every boy deserves the freedom to be a child.
Who we are
We are mothers, advocates, and allies joining hands to protect children too often overlooked by the systems meant to serve them.
For Our Boys stands at the intersection of family and reform, helping families navigate today’s challenges while driving the policy changes that create a more just tomorrow.
Our boys are sons, brothers, students, and dreamers and they deserve a world that sees them for who they are, not who the system assumes them to be.
