In Illinois, thousands of families are supporting incarcerated loved ones while also learning how to navigate and challenge the systems connected to mass incarceration. Too often families become invisible victims of incarceration, carrying the emotional, financial, legal, and spiritual burdens without support or acknowledgment. In this month's Lunch & Learn, we recognize families not as “visitors” to the movement, but as essential leaders within it.

Six years ago, we founded IPP with a simple but powerful idea – that everyone deserves a second chance.

A second chance meant everything to IPP client Jermaine Brown, who won early release last spring after 23 years in prison.

In his first year of freedom, Jermaine started a mentoring workshop at his re-entry center, landed his dream job as a career development coach, and launched a nonprofit to help young people.

But nothing was more important than reuniting with his beloved grandmother, Lula.

There are thousands of families like Jermaine and Lula's still waiting for their reunion. Support their second chance by donating generously to IPP's fundraising campaign.
