#FreeOurYouth from Louisiana's Juvenile Prisons During the COVID-19 Crisis

We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
More than 200 kids are currently being held in Louisiana's juvenile prisons, separated from loved ones. Over 80% of these kids are Black.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to worsen throughout the country, prison facilities have proved especially vulnerable to outbreak. In fact, new coronavirus cases among the kids and staff in Louisiana's juvenile prisons were on the rise this past spring.
That is, until the prisons abruptly stopped testing.
Prisons are already unsafe environments for children. But even more so now when it's nearly impossible to social distance, and during a pandemic that's disproportionately harming the Black community.
You can help us stand up for the rights of Louisiana's incarcerated children. Your donation today helps raise $10,000 to support litigation seeking the return, via furlough or outright release, of individual children being held in these dangerous facilities during this time of crisis.
In fact, give today and DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! One of our incredibly generous allies has pledged to match, dollar for dollar, every contribution made to this campaign up to the first $5,000. Amazing!
Give today! Your support could make a major difference in our efforts to return these kids safely home. Together, let's #FreeOurYouth.
