This year marks a decade that I have had the privilege of working at the Promise of Justice Initiative. Through challenges others told us were impossible to get past, we have brought people home who were serving unbelievably harsh sentences, forced prisons to treat incarcerated people with dignity and respect, and pushed Louisiana to be better for all her citizens. Unfortunately, this work is even more challenging than it was a decade ago - laws are getting harsher, and those with much more power work everyday to diminish the humanity of our clients. PJI needs your support to continue the fight for a fairer, safer, and more just world for us all. Your donation goes farther than you know, and is appreciated more than we could express. Thank you!!

Promise of Justice Initiative fights for the dignity, freedom, and autonomy of those targeted and touched by the criminal legal system and for an end to mass incarceration. We are building a better world -- a world where justice means a legal system that embodies an ethos of transformation, restoration, and safety, and values community, family, dreams, and joy as part of Black life and all life. We believe that a better world is possible. We believe in the promise of justice.
