Join Lone Star Justice Alliance on October 24th at the Sunset Room in Austin to hear incredible impact stories, celebrate the growth of the organization, and learn about the important work still being done. Hear from Jason Robinson, a currently incarcerated client of the Lone Star Justice Alliance working to ensure others are granted the civil liberties he was not afforded. Jason will be introduced by his father Larry Robinson, a decorated war veteran and current Lone Star Justice Alliance board member. Then, visit with Lone Star Justice Alliance staff and some of their biggest supporters while enjoying a three-course dinner and sweet treats from Café Momentum, an incredible partner in the space of re-entry and reform.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Through our Youth Sentencing Project, we provide direct strategic litigation on behalf of youth who were tried in the adult criminal legal system and given extremely long prison sentences, particularly those sentenced to life without parole.
Youth should be held accountable for their wrongdoing in developmentally appropriate ways that consider their age, individual characteristics, and specific circumstances of their cases.
Our staff litigators take the lead on a limited number of cases every year, selecting those that have the potential to influence system-wide change. Last year, LSJA was involved in 13 cases challenging the transfer of youth (either as lead counsel or in a technical support role) and won 12 of these cases.
