Free to Care

Over 30 years ago, Lisa Creason attempted to rob a Subway cash register. She had no plan, no weapon, and no getaway car. It was an act of desperation to feed her infant daughter, and resulted in a criminal record she couldn’t escape. Denied her dream of becoming a nurse, Lisa must fight an unjust law to provide for her family and create opportunities for thousands of others across the state of Illinois.
