Mission
With a dedicated focus on addressing wrongful convictions, ICLSU confronts a deeply troubling reality that individuals are unjustly imprisoned, often due to underlying factors of systemic racism. The disproportionate impact on Black and Latinx communities, with 64% of those freed with the assistance of the Innocence Project being from these demographics, highlights the deeply ingrained inequities within our legal system. These injustices not only affect the innocent individuals who are wrongfully convicted but also reverberate through their families and communities, perpetuating cycles of trauma and distrust. Twenty-one out of twenty-three exonerations based on DNA evidence in Louisiana involved mistaken eyewitness identifications, showcasing a glaring flaw in the process of criminal justice. The fact that two of these individuals were sentenced to the death penalty underscores the severity of the issue and the dire consequences of such miscarriages of justice. In response to these challenges, the Innocence Club at LSU believes in education and advocacy on these pressing issues. Through outreach efforts, we seek to inform the public about the flaws that lead to wrongful convictions, including witness misidentification, misapplication of forensic science, false confessions, coerced pleas, unreliable informants, inadequate defense, and official misconduct.We aim to push for changes that will address the root causes of wrongful convictions and ensure a fairer and more equitable criminal justice system for all. Fundraising efforts are also a pillar of our organization, as we seek to support the vital work of local organizations connected with The Innocence Network. These funds provide critical resources for legal representation, investigative efforts, and support services for innocent individuals and their families as they navigate the complex process of exoneration and reintegration into society.

Membership Benefits
ICLSU is a service-oriented organization dedicated to those who want to make an impact on the justice system as well as those wrongfully convicted. Members will leave a positive impact on the state of Louisiana through advocacy and volunteering to aid innocent individuals.

Social Workers Advocating for Equality (SWAE) is a new student organization within the School of Social Work. Our aim is to provide social work students with opportunities to raise awareness and advocate for causes affecting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community. SWAE is NOT strictly for individuals who identify as LGBTQ. We are also actively seeking individuals who are interested in learning more about how to be a better straight ally. A straight ally is an individual who identifies as heterosexual and believes that all individuals, regardless of their sexual minority status, have the right to equality.  
Our group's goal is two-fold. First, we aim to work with organizations throughout the Baton Rouge area to promote equality for the LGBTQ population. Some of these activities may include signing petitions, letter writing campaigns, social events in conjunction with groups such as Spectrum, EQLA, and the Equality Project, and many others. Second, we aim to provide MSW students with a safe space to come together to discuss issues they may be experiencing. Whether it be in their internships or in their personal lives. We stress that, at all of our meetings, we will respect the input and concerns of members. We will work to uphold the social work values of dignity, integrity, importance of human relationships, competence, service, and social justice.
We are looking for members of varying levels of participation. Come to a meeting and listen to a discussion, or feel free to chime in! This group is about awareness and advocacy, therefore, participation at any level is openly welcome. Our aim is to ensure that all members leave our meetings feeling more culturally competent regarding LGBTQ issues.
