Every two years, the Alliance holds a lobby day to provide an opportunity for Alliance members to mobilize allies to attend Second Chance Advocacy Day, coalesce around a set of criminal justice reform policy issues, and engage directly with their elected representatives on the issues that most intimately affect their lives. The most recent lobby day, on May 7th, 2019, we stood with 1,000+ directly impacted community members at the General Assembly to share stories with lawmakers and advocate for legislation that supports second chances for people impacted by the criminal legal system. The day after our demonstration, the Second Chance Act (Senate Bill 562) Passed the Senate unanimously. A victory for the Second Chance Alliance and a victory for North Carolinians.  The bi-annual lobby day continues to be a day focused on the priorities and needs of those with

organizing low-propensity voters, particularly people with criminal records and their families, to participate in upcoming District Attorney and Sheriffs elections in targeted jurisdictions across the state. Building on our foundational work in 2018, Forward Justice, Durham For All, and Spirithouse spearheaded the c(3) and c(4) tables that resulted in the historic first-time election of Satana Deberry.<\/p><p>Since her election, Deberry has proven to be the most progressive prosecutor in the state. She has the largest number of post-conviction, emergency release motions related to the COVID pandemic and the largest amount of DA-initiated debt relief for people with outstanding fees and fines. Additionally, Durham has seen a reduction in the conviction-based prison population from the year Deberry took office in 2018 (954), 2019 (880), to 2021 (698).<\/p><p>In North Carolina, both the District Attorney and Sheriff are elected public officials who wield considerable power in the prosecution of all criminal matters. FJAN and our movement partners know the importance of these local elections towards fulfilling our long-term goals of organizing what FJAN Board Member Norris Henderson refers to as the \u201cSleeping Giant\u201d, low propensity directly impacted voters committed to ending mass incarceration.<\/p><p>We implemented this strategy by engaging in voter education through report cards, mobilization, and issue-based advocacy in the District Attorney elections in Wake, Mecklenburg, Forsyth, and Durham counties.<\/p><p>We know that to hold and sustain what is possible in the state, we are already preparing for the needs of 2024.
