Nearly 100 systems-impacted leaders joined JustLeadershipUSA at Grace and Peace Church in Chicago, Illinois, on February 2-3 for one of the largest Emerging Leaders™ trainings in the organization’s 10-year history. Through JLUSA’s IACET certification, 84 participants received a certificate for participation and 1.2 CEUs for completing both days of the training.
JLUSA will choose six attendees who have completed the training and filled out an application to receive a one-year grant to amplify their work as formerly incarcerated leaders in the Chicagoland area to advance comprehensive racial equity and economic mobility within their communities.
Thank you to Chicago Beyond, G.O.D. (Giving Others Dreams), Illinois Alliance for Reentry & Justice, Illinois Coalition to End Permanent Punishments, Inner-City Muslim Action Network, Life Impacters Foundation, McClurge Media, National Alliance for the Empowerment of the Formerly Incarcerated, the Women’s Justice Institute Reclamation Project, and Leading with Conviction™ (LwC) alumni Celia Colon (LwC 2018), Marlon Chamberlain (LwC 2019), Avalon Betts-Gaston (LwC 2022), Cedric Frison (LwC 2023), and Paul Rothschild (LwC 2024 participant) for partnering with us on this event!
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By making a donation in honor of JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
Please give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
