Bravo! I love your post and YES, time to walk the walk!
Ratifying a UN xonvebtin
A first step could be to get the U.S. to ratificate the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child, as the U.S. is the only country in the world that hasn't done that. U.S. ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child - Wikipedia
It may not change much in reality, but it's 30 years ago this year the convention was written, so it's high time to "walk the walk".
How would ratifying a UN convention be walking the walk if it may not change much in reality?
Even Human Rights Watch acknowledges that “[t]he vast majority of US laws are consistent with the Convention.” And the exceptions don’t apply to the issues being raised in this thread, but instead to sentencing for youth offenders.
