The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth will host our annual reception, Healing & Hope 2012: A Celebration, to honor the courage of advocates who fight to end the practice of sentencing youth to life in prison without the possibility of parole. We will also celebrate the progress that has been made on this effort in the three and a half years since our organization was launched.

“I don’t know how or if it will affect me directly but one thing I do know is it is a huge step forward in reform. This would never have been possible without organizations like yours.” –A prisoner serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for a crime committed as a youth, reflecting on the impact of the Miller v. Alabama U.S. Supreme Court decision.
