Thank you to everyone who came out for our end of summer celebration. It was a time to appreciate all those who have come home and to reenergize for all those who will be coming home soon.

Lorenzo is a former juvenile lifer, incarcerated in Michigan for 26 years. He's now a braille transcriber. In his 4 years home, he has become a father, a homeowner, a voter, and a community activist. "This is what abolishing juvenile life without parole looks like," he says.
