Angela Chang, an esteemed advocate for youth empowerment, has led the Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office to launch the groundbreaking “Knowing Your Rights” campaign. This initiative aims to educate young people and parents on the importance of understanding their legal rights, the potential negative impacts of background checks, and the support available through 504 Plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).
In a world where information is power, Angela Chang and the Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office recognize the pressing need to equip young individuals, parents, and guardians with the knowledge and resources necessary to protect themselves in various situations. The campaign seeks to empower youth to make informed decisions and navigate life’s challenges more effectively by educating youth about their rights.
