The work that is produced at Promise of Justice Initiative matters to me because I'm apart of change that is desperately needed in Louisiana. The system here is unjust and human life isn't valued. PJI is actively working to change that by holding prosecutors accountable and showing up in spaces that may not be in favor of our change. This work takes courage because it is hard, but with the help of the community, it makes it a little easier and that much closer to a win for ALL people. For this GiveNOLA Day, I encourage you to stand with us and help us make the changes for a better Louisiana.

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.
