This year, we are proud to honor Co-Founders @JRapping & @ilhamaskia for their unwavering dedication and hard work with Gideon’s Promise over the past 16 years.
Although for the first time, our organization will be led by a non-founder, this person is not new to GP.

Great day @3dGeorgia 2026
An insane ending here has @3dGeorgia moving on thanks to a last second goal from an attack unit that gives you nothing easy!
Gavin Bodoh sealed it off from a great groundball and assist by Lucas Rapping.

As public defenders, we usually don't get the credit we are due for lowering recidivism. It's a tough conversation, but one we need to have, and I'm glad @Law360 gave me the chance to lay out an argument.

Hate has no place here. @treeoflifepgh was my childhood congregation was where my brother @JRapping what is bar mitzvahed. #PittsburghStrong #NoPlaceForHate💙
When the deadliest act of antisemitic violence in our nation’s history occurred at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanians of every faith came together.
We made it clear that hate has no home here.
Because we know we share the responsibility to confront bigotry head on. #🟦

After 60 years, let's finally commit to fulfilling @Gideons_Promise.
On March 16, 2023, @SenBooker introduced the Providing a Quality Defense Act and the Sentencing Commission Improvements Act to the Senate floor. These bills aim to improve access to counsel and increase representation of public defenders within the criminal legal system. 💙

If we believe in a fair, rational and humane justice system, let’s respect public defenders. Well done
