Did you know that it costs $247k annually to keep someone at Rikers, but only $11k for BronxConnect to support them? As a $1 million Communities Thrive Challenge grantee, we can provide even more care for our youth and help them build brighter futures. communitiesthrivechallenge.o….

If we’re serious about community safety, we have to talk about where our resources go. What would happen if more of that investment went toward mental health care, social workers, and community-based support? Watch our team member share her vision. 📷 freedomagendany

Only smiles when our RTG team show up, connect with neighbors, and build the relationships that make violence prevention possible. 📸 unifiedblackcaucus

You can’t recruit your way out of every problem. Years of staffing shortages across carceral facilities raise a bigger question about the scale of incarceration itself. Public safety requires us to look at the whole system.

Every young person deserves a safe place to learn and a community that is behind them. 📸 core_personal_training_frg

There’s more than one way to make a community safer. Cure Violence approaches violence as a public health issue, using credible messengers to interrupt conflicts, connect with people at highest risk, and shift community norms. thetrace.org/2026/08/new-yor…

At the heart of our Release The Grip team are relationships. It looks like showing up for one another, our youth building connections and staff creating moments where everyone can feel supported. 📸 core_personal_training_frg

The research is clear about one thing: prevention deserves attention. We’ll keep showing up, building trust, and working toward safer communities.

You can find Bronx pride on every block. This is home. ❤️ 📸 bronxstreetshots

A little bit of good can go a long way. For us, that means putting Love into Action, creating opportunities for Redemption, and showing up for our community every day.

Every day, young people are learning and figuring out where they want to go next. It's our privilege to make sure they have the support to get there. 📸 denn_ice

With less than a year until the deadline to close Rikers, the next chapter should be about safety, accountability, and a system that treats people with dignity.

Growing up in the Bronx means knowing these streets, these blocks, and these people. It also means having a community that has your back and invests in you. 📸 lettyabad74

When the numbers are this different, we should recognize that young people need support that recognizes their needs and not systems that are immediately punitive in response.

Wherever the day takes us, we always return back to what grounds us. Love. Action. Redemption. 📸 transit.rohaan

For young people navigating the justice system, having someone in your corner matters. We’ll keep showing up for a system that protects young people's rights during interrogation. #right2remainsilent

Joy matters. For youth, that can mean a summer afternoon on the block with friends and a hydrant. 📸 roselyngrullon
