Brown called support for the legislation a “no-brainer.”

“I think all of this in this room, myself included, is just a decision to avoid being in another situation… and as society continues to evolve, I think the system serves it will also develop.”

Jaylen Brown, Steve Pagliuca, Rich Gotham and Allison Feaster met with MA legislators to advocate for the passage of the bill, which proposes to raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction to include 18 – 20-year-olds.
