Robyn Hasan Simpson (Leading with Conviction™ 2022), Executive Director of Women on the Rise, and Dominique Grant (LwC 2024 participant), Campaign and Operations Manager for Women on the Rise, today are celebrating the decision by Fulton County, Georgia, to not pursue a new $2 billion dollar jail project.
As they said in their campaign against the project, “Our communities need resources, not more jails.”
Our communities need resources,
not more jails.
Today, we celebrate that Fulton County has scrapped the plan! 🙌🏽 The fight continues as we push for resources and to decarcerate the jail. In 2 months, the Center for Diversion Services & Crisis Center will open as we continue! #communityovercages pic.twitter.com/EMRmoLUobg

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!
