Instead of strengthening and expanding mental health and substance abuse treatment programs and tackling failing systems like education, housing, and unemployment, for too long, politicians have pushed tough-on-crime policies that have led us to a mass incarceration crisis.

It doesn’t have to be that way. But we need YOUR help!

Join us for our Smart Justice Campaign Party at 6:00 p.m. CT on Sept. 6 at the Muenster University Center, Room 216A in Vermillion, South Dakota. Connect with ACLU supporters and volunteers and learn how you can make a difference in reforming South Dakota’s criminal justice system.

If you don’t live near Vermillion, no problem! We’re coordinating events in cities across South Dakota and streaming the entire event on Facebook live. RSVP to one of our parties on Facebook.
