We 💕 our community partners! @calvarywomendc @togetherwebake @cflsdc @FatherFactorINC @DCCorrections @TheWIRE_DC @togetherwebake @Pivot_Program @SamaritanMinDC @SEMDC @SkylandDC @AChance2Thrive
We had a wonderful evening last night at the ACT Initiative's Reentry Dinner Club hosted at the Public Welfare Foundation! Constituents from all over the District had the chance to hear from members of our community who have real, lived experience with reentry.
We are so thankful to everyone who came out and participated in this important dialogue. These conversations will drive future change in the reentry space, making it possible for returning citizens to have #AChanceToThrive.

Help us erase the stigma of #reentry so that more organizations will provide equitable employment for returning citizens.

A staggering statistic that we are working every day to curve. OAR journeys with individuals affected by mass incarceration and works to end the systemic injustices created by racism across all systems.
