Keep our People Free, Keep our Families Together

Join the Children’s Best Interest Project to learn:

• Why it’s important to prevent parental incarceration and child-parent separation
• How the Children’s Best Interest Act helps
• What is the role of Family Impact Statements
• How community members can have a role in participatory defense and spread the word about this new law

We will hear from Joanne Archibald, a formerly incarcerated mother, about her son’s experience; and from Gail Smith, an attorney working with defense lawyers to prevent parental incarceration.
