Every day, JustDane works to challenge stigma, build community, and support people impacted by the criminal legal system as they move forward in their lives. Sharing these stories matters - because visibility creates understanding, connection, and change.

Thanks to the Adams Collaborate Public Service Advertising Program through Adams Outdoor, our message is now reaching thousands of people across the community through billboards that highlight hope, opportunity, and the power of support.

"There's hope. Your life may not be like it once was. It might be better or just getting by. But you can do it. You can put all that behind you and life can be great." - Brenda, JustDane staff member highlighted on the first billboard.

We are deeply grateful to Adams Outdoor Advertising for investing in community-centered storytelling and helping amplify the voices and experiences that deserve to be seen and heard.

You may have already seen, but... We’re excited to share that JustDane was selected for the Adams Collaborate Public Service Advertising Program through Adams Outdoor!

Thanks to this generous support, JustDane’s message is now reaching our community through billboards across the area - helping us amplify stories of hope, connection, and second chances.

The first billboard features Brenda - a former JustDane intern and volunteer who is now a valued member of our staff team. Her journey reflects what’s possible when people are met with opportunity, support, and community.

“Once I met JustDane staff, I had this sense of relief... You just feel so accepted, you can take a deep breath. It feels like home" - Brenda

We’re grateful to Adams Outdoor Advertising for helping us amplify stories of hope, connection, and second chances throughout our community. Keep an eye out for our billboard around town!
