Over the past 20 years, youth incarceration has plummeted by 75% as states closed prisons and reformed policies. In her new book, *In Our Future We Are Free*, journalist Nell Bernstein dissects this transformation.

Bernstein's book highlights the pivotal role of imprisoned youth, mothers, activists, and even prison officials in challenging the "racist brutality of youth prisons" and closing institutions. Join Nell Bernstein and moderator Chesa Boudin to learn how this coalition reformed a "racist and destructive institution" and what other social movements can learn from their struggle.

At a news conference today, officials released data showing nine New York communities, including New York City, could benefit by over $400 million annually from the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA).

The New York Senate passed PRRIA (A1749 Glick/S1464 Harckham) in 2024 and 2025. Having cleared Assembly committees in 2025, the bill, with 75 sponsors, is now on the Assembly floor.

Dr. Daniel Pauly highlights aquaculture's varied impact. Low-trophic species like bivalves (mussels, oysters) and seaweed offer sustainable options. But industrial salmon and other marine predator farming depend on wild fish feed. China's two-thirds share of global fish farming, especially carnivorous species, magnifies environmental impact.

To support sustainable seafood and ocean health, demand low-trophic aquaculture, stronger regulation of open-net pens, and true industry transparency.
