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.

With over two million people currently behind bars, the United States remains the largest incarcerator in the world. Additionally, Americans of color continue to face imprisonment at alarmingly disproportionate rates compared to their White counterparts. In particular, Louisiana has the second-largest incarceration rate in the country, only recently unseated as number one in 2018.

As we continue to become more informed of our justice system's effects, we advocate for various methods of meaningful change. In order to restore our community, we give LSU students opportunities to work with local organizations that aid individuals and families negatively impacted by these systems. There is a shared belief between us and our partners that we can and must take action to improve the delivery of justice in our country.

The Sharon Statement was adopted on September 11, 1960 by a group of 100 young conservatives who convened at the home of William F. Buckley in Sharon, Connecticut with the purpose of creating Young Americans for Freedom. Its message is timeless and has been championed by countless conservative leaders since its adoption, including President Ronald Reagan who served as YAF's Honorary National Chairman. The Sharon Statement continues to function as the foundational document for every YAF chapter across the country.

The Sharon Statement

In this time of moral and political crises, it is the responsibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths.

We, as young conservatives, believe:

That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual's use of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of arbitrary force;

That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom;

That the purpose of government is to protect those freedoms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the administration of justice;

That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions, it accumulates power, which tends to diminish order and liberty;

That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power;

That the genius of the Constitution—the division of powers—is summed up in the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal government;

That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand, is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of personal freedom and constitutional government, and that it is at the same time the most productive supplier of human needs;

That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation; that when it takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the integrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both;

That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of the United States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies;

That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties;

That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with, this menace; and

That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States?
