It's not too early to prepare for this year's "Stand in Love" campaign to send messages of love and support to our incarcerated youth. This Valentine's Day, FFLIC will celebrate our sixth annual "Stand in Love" campaign to ask our supporters to create cards and video messages for incarcerated youth who are locked in prisons away from their families on this annual day of love. The past couple of years has been especially difficult and isolating for our youth due to the pandemic and the resulting isolation, as well as racial violence and severe weather events. Your encouraging words are needed more than ever! In the upcoming days, we will be providing additional details regarding local drop-off and pick-up locations as well as card templates for you to color. But for now, you can get started on a hand made card or buy a card from your nearest store. Simply add a simple message like “we are thinking of you” and include your first name only, your city and your state. Please do not make any promises to our youth! You can mail your card(s) to be received by February 9, 2022 at: FFLIC, PO Box 56877, New Orleans, LA 70156 Additionally, you can make a video and upload it on our Facebook page! Please share! We also need your help spreading the word! Check out our social media toolkit that has graphics and messaging for you to use. |
