FFLIC is committed to giving back to communities of color who are most impacted by systems of oppression that lead to youth incarceration. We are proud to sponsor Ms. Kerri Stewart-Daniel of Pain to Purpose Ministry, who started her ministry after losing a son to gun violence, in offering a Thanksgiving meal. This is just one example of the ways that #FFLIC works with those closest to the solutions to change systems. Please consider donating now through tomorrow at https://bit.ly/givingtuesdayfflic so we can continue to support leaders in the community. #nomoreprisons #BlackLoveWins #GivingTuesday

“Though Louisiana has made significant progress in reducing the state prison population, these reports are critical for understanding the local practices that drive our high rates of incarceration.” Two amazing reports commissioned by Public Welfare Foundation and conducted by Loyola Distinguished Law Professor Andrea Armstrong are now available and we are so proud to have been a part of this work!
