We’re currently targeting the King County Prosecutor’s office, advocating a moratorium to abolish Decline & Auto-Decline from both the legislature and Governor Jay Inslee and working to support and organize kids and families facing auto-decline and within the JR system.

Decline & Automatic decline are Washington state laws that send juvenile defendants to adult court under certain criteria. Young people are prosecuted as adults without any consideration of juvenile brain development, the unique developmental process of young people, and untreated mental health issues. They are cruel and racist practices that we are working to abolish for good.



We are demanding King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg’s office permanently discontinue Decline & Auto-Decline, and return the 13 current King County Declined & Auto-Declined youth cases back to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. And, we demand KCPO expedite re-sentencing for all youth in accordance with Houston Sconners, Ali & Domingo case decisions.
