Lend A Helping Hand and a Loving Heart . . .And Let’s End Domestic Violence and Child Victimization in Louisiana Conference

Families and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children (FFLIC) is a statewide membership-based organization dedicated to creating a better life for all of Louisiana’s youth, especially those who are involved, or at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. As mothers and fathers, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and allies we seek to use education, direct action organizing, and peer advocacy to build strong, powerful families and communities and to fight for justice for our children and ourselves. We have united to collectively demand that the systems and institutions which are supposed to help our children grow and thrive fulfill their mandate and cease being a force of oppression against our youth and our families.
