FFLIC is a 501c3 grassroots, state-wide, membership-based, inter-generational organization working to transform the systems that put children at risk of prison.

At FFLIC, we believe leadership grows when young people are given the space to develop their voice, share their vision, and lead.

Our newest Substack profile highlights Talisha Daniels, one of seven young leaders in FFLIC's Youth Leadership Cohort. From her writing in the No Kids in Prison Magazine to her Freedom Lives Within Us billboard, Talisha continues to show what becomes possible when young people are supported, not silenced.

"Incarceration doesn't just take away someone's freedom. It takes away time, memories, relationships, and opportunities that families can never get back."

At our Baton Rouge stop of the No More Prisons Tour, youth leader and mentor Anilah shared how incarceration has impacted her family and why youth justice decisions affect far more than one person.

When a young person becomes involved in the justice system, entire families carry the consequences. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and communities all feel the impact.

That's why we're fighting for a future that invests in young people, families, and communities instead of relying on incarceration.

FFLIC brings Louisiana families and young people together to share experiences, build community, and support one another, so that families don't have to navigate the youth justice system alone.

We know that when a young person becomes involved in the justice system, families deserve connection, understanding, and support.

Whether you or someone you know is navigating the system now or have been through it before, there's a place to connect.

It's here. 💜 For the past few weeks, the message Freedom Lives Within Us has been standing tall across New Orleans, carrying the voice and vision of FFLIC youth leader Talisha into the public conversation.

The billboard is an invitation to imagine a future where young people are supported, nurtured, and given the opportunities they need to thrive instead of being pushed into systems of incarceration.

Over the past month, that vision has come to life through Talisha's writing in the No Kids in Prison Magazine, her community event FREE: THE ESCAPE ROOM, and the launch of our No More Prisons Tour across Louisiana. Now we're excited to finally share a glimpse of the billboard itself.

If you are near Broad and Thalia, snap a photo and tag . Together, we can help carry this message far beyond a single billboard.

✨ Freedom Lives Within Us.

What is your vision of a world without youth prisons?

As we launched our No More Prisons Tour, Youth Leadership Development Coordinator Cameron Dumas reminded us that this work is about more than policy. It's about possibility. It's about imagination. It's about creating space for people to dream beyond what exists today.

FFLIC youth leader Talisha answered that question through FREE: THE ESCAPE ROOM: a community art and healing event exploring freedom, creativity, connection, healing, and what we can build together.

From the Freedom Lives Within Us billboard to the No Kids in Prison Magazine to this event, Talisha is helping us imagine a future where young people are supported, not incarcerated.

This is what youth leadership looks like.

Last stop SHREVEPORT! Join us tonight on the last stop of our statewide No More Prisons tour at 2821 Greenwood Rd. at 5:00 P.M. This past week we've been traveling the state sharing stories, building relationships, and having important conversations about what young people need to thrive.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be reflecting on what we heard in communities across Louisiana and sharing key themes from the tour. Follow FFLIC on social media for photos, videos, and highlights from each stop, and keep an eye on future newsletters and blog posts as we dive deeper into the conversations, challenges, and ideas that emerged along the way.

What does accountability look like?

It looks like families showing up.

It looks like young people speaking their truth.

It looks like asking tough questions and demanding real answers.

Today, as part of our No More Prisons Tour, youth and families brought their stories and their vision for change directly to Louisiana's Juvenile Justice Reform Act Implementation Commission.

Because youth justice decisions don't just impact systems.

They impact real people. Real families. Real communities.

And those voices deserve to be heard.

🚩 The first stop of FFLIC's No More Prisons Tour starts with a question: What does freedom mean?

On October 19, we're kicking off our statewide No More Prisons Tour with FREE: THE ESCAPE ROOM, an interactive experience created by FFLIC youth leader Talisha (Diaspirit Tetherings).

If you've seen the new Freedom Lives Within Us billboard in New Orleans, you've already seen a glimpse of Talisha's vision. The billboard is part of FFLIC's No More Prisons campaign and reflects a belief that young people deserve opportunities, support, creativity, healing, and community, not incarceration.

As one of seven young leaders in FFLIC's Youth Leadership Cohort, Talisha has spent the past year developing her voice, leadership, and vision for a future beyond youth prisons. Her work has been featured through the Freedom Lives Within Us billboard and the No Kids in Prison Magazine, helping bring youth perspectives on freedom and possibility into public spaces.

Now, she's inviting the community to go deeper.

For Talisha, freedom is more than the absence of incarceration. As she writes:

“free is a frequency
a way of being
be free
i am free
we free.”

FREE: THE ESCAPE ROOM transforms those ideas into an interactive community experience where participants can listen, create, reflect, and imagine together. Through art, storytelling, conversation, and collective exploration, we'll examine the conditions shaping our communities and the futures we want to build.

This event reflects what No More Prisons is all about: investing in young people's leadership, creating space for community wisdom, and building solutions rooted in care, creativity, and collective power rather than punishment and confinement.

✨ Come celebrate Talisha's billboard.
✨ Pick up a copy of the No Kids in Prison Magazine.
✨ Help launch the No More Prisons Tour.
✨ Bring your perspective and help imagine what's next.

Come as you are. Let's see what we can build together. Open to all. October 19th, 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Cafe Istanbul.
