Last week we saw photos of prison guards in riot gear pointing a military-style gun directly at the head of a child, who was cowering beneath them. #BanksiaHill #RaiseTheAge
THREAD 🧵 (1/3)
I am incredibly saddened to hear the news of Sophie Trevitt's passing.
Her tireless advocacy to #RaiseTheAge was key in progressing the reform nationally and in the NT.
My condolences to Sophie's family and friends - she was an incredible advocate and will be greatly missed.
A moment of jubilation! Advocacy works! #RaiseTheAge HB2744 has passed the Committee and is headed to Calenders!!!!!! Thank you ALL who voted YES and all who do the work! #Uvalde #DoYourJob #txlege
Last year over 58% of mass shooters used AR-15 rifles, spreading carnage in tragedies across the US.
The #Uvalde shooter choose this weapon for mass terror because of its accessibility & power.
We need #raisetheage and #redflaglaws to help stop this madness.
Ten days ago, the #RaisetheAge legislation that considered 17-year-olds as children in the juvenile legal system was officially repealed. Despite claims of 'surging' crime being linked to youth, there's no evidence connecting an increase in violent crime to this policy.
Earlier this year, Sophie Trevitt was awarded the 2023 Voltaire Human Rights Award for her work to #raisetheage and protect Aboriginal children from being sent to prison.
“No one can consider the job done while there are still children suffering behind bars”
YSAS youth worker Don Concha spoke with ABC News Richard Willingham about the need to raise the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14.
No 12 year old child should grow up in prison, Dan Andrews must #RaiseTheAge to at least 14. No exceptions.

With Greens in government, the ACT is raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 by mid-2025.
Now it's our turn.
Victoria needs to #RaiseTheAge to 14 without exceptions, now. Kids belong in community and in school, not in prison.
We’re pleased to hear that the late Sophie Trevitt has been acknowledged with an AM for her advocacy to #RaiseTheAge and for First Nations justice. Sophie was awarded our 2023 Voltaire Human Rights Award in recognition of her vast contribution to human rights and civil liberties
Tasmania has committed to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to 14 with no exceptions.
If Tasmania can take this important step, Victoria can too.
We've written to our Attorney-General urging Labor to act 👇🏽
The indomitable Sophie Trevitt has been posthumously appointed a Member of the Order of Aus
On Jan 26, we know that Soph would want our focus to be on the First Nations #children as young as 10 who are being harmed right now in prison cells #RaiseTheAge
Tom Swann Change the Record
My legal studies class was privileged to hear from Emily Mayo this morning about the #RaiseTheAge campaign and issues surrounding it. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with us, Emily; it's much appreciated!
NOT NEGOTIABLE
To at least 14
No child belongs in prison.
You can do this Dan ….. our kids lives are in your hands Dan Andrews
