DID YOU KNOW?
April is Second Chance Month. This is a time to bring awareness of the barriers faced by those returning home from jail and prison. It is also a time to recognize the resilience and contributions that the over 70 million Americans with a past conviction bring to their families and communities each day.
Returning Strong marks CEO’s commitment to leading the needed change in the national conversation about what it means to be a person with lived experience.
Join us and let’s change the narrative on what returning home is like and what we need to make Returning Strong a reality for all.
Send us a video at [email protected] or post on your social media using #ReturningStrong.
Tell the world – “I’m Returning Strong.”
