As we reflect on this year, we’re deeply grateful for your support in driving Lone Star Justice Alliance’s mission forward.
Together, we’ve achieved incredible milestones: from advocating for transformative justice to empowering youth and families to break free from the cycle of incarceration. Your generosity has been the heartbeat of these life-changing programs.
But the work isn’t done. With your end-of-year gift, we can continue building safer, stronger communities and expanding our impact in 2024. Please consider donating today to keep justice moving forward.
Thank you for believing in the power of change.

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.
