Mae is in the studio with musician John Forte as he discusses #SchoolsNotPrisons.
"The statewide 2016 #SchoolsNotPrisons concert tour kicks off August 6 in Sacramento as youth leaders join national and local performing artists to call for an end to overspending on prisons and investing more in education, health and support for young people.
A primary focus of the tour will be to increase peaceful activism and voting among California's young people whose opportunities are being cut short by overspending on jails and prisons. Since 1980, California has built 22 prisons, but just one UC campus. The state spends six times more to keep a person in state prison than on a student in K-12 schools. And in 2014, youth arrests outnumbered youth votes in California."
Due to high demand, tomorrow’s concert at Sac City is SOLD OUT, but supporters are encouraged to watch it live online at schoolsnotprisons.vote.
