On this GiveNOLA Day, we invite you to stand with the Justice & Accountability Center of Louisiana (JAC) as we fight for freedom, fairness, and a fresh start for thousands of Louisianans burdened by old criminal records.

Meet Tasha!

A single mother of two, Tasha was denied job after job because of a misdemeanor arrest from over a decade ago-an arrest that never even led to a conviction. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't break through the red tape keeping her from better pay and stable housing.

Then Tasha found JAC.

Through one of our expungement clinics, we helped Tasha clear her record. In just a few months, she landed a job with benefits, enrolled her kids in a better school district, and started building the future she had only dreamed of.

"Tasha's story is powerful," said one of our attorneys. "But she's not alone. There are thousands more just like her who deserve the same chance."

This GiveNOLA Day, your gift helps us provide:

• Free legal support at expungement clinics
• Outreach and education for justice-impacted individuals
• Policy reform that makes second chances possible

Every dollar moves us closer to a Louisiana where a person's past doesn't define their future.

Give today. Give second chances. GiveNOLA.

The Justice and Accountability Center of Louisiana eliminates obstacles to opportunity for people harmed by the systemic racism and economic impacts of the criminal legal system through legal services, public education, and policy advocacy.
