Families and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children (FFLIC) is a statewide grassroots, multi-generational membership-based organization committed to abolishing all forms of state violence against Black youth — especially youth in New Orleans — through transformative organizing, holistic leadership development, and advocacy. We seek to divest from the youth justice system and invest in community-based alternatives, including policies that transform our educational system into one that truly serves young people.
