BreakOUT! Featured in Office of Victims of Crimes Video

BreakOUT! was featured in a video for the National Victims of Crimes Awareness Week as part of an effort to broaden the definition of "victim" and think critically about our response to crime.  BreakOUT! hopes to spark a conversation among viewers about the overreliance on the criminal justice system, which is anything but just, especially for incarcerated LGBTQ young people.  Chief Public Defender for Orleans Parish, Derwyn Bunton, was interviewed for the film as well as two BreakOUT! members (K. and M.) and Director Wesley Ware.  The result is a short segment highlighting the victimization of LGBTQ people behind bars and BreakOUT!'s work with members, many of whom are formerly-incarcerated or detained.  You can watch the clip, which is being shown around the country in the month of April, here.
