I was born, raised, and am deeply in love with this state—but in 2025, we cannot claim to have moved past our history if we’re still letting people rot in prison under Jim Crow laws. Five years ago, I joined PJI with one mission: to end Jim Crow in Louisiana so my son can grow up with a real reason to trust this state. That mission isn’t finished. Hundreds of people are still incarcerated because a system once designed to silence Black voices refuses to let go of its grip. I’m not giving up—and I would love your support in this fight.

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.
