Happening now and all day. Great work being done in Halifax to support incarcerated individuals and to address underlying root causes. More secure shelter and services are always the answer. #BuildCommunitiesNotPrisons for #TraumaInformedJustice WellnessWithin Coverdale Justice Society

Aisha Francis is now going to discuss the impact of incarceration and gun violence on families and how it disproportionately affects the black community

“Undieniably, a liminal place exists between ruin and restoration for families impacted by gun violence and incarceration. What occurs in that space will determine the outcome of either ruin or restoration.” -Aisha Francis

Many women feel a sense of shame and stigma connected to having a loved one in incarceration. We need more services that appropriately help families and loved ones facing incarceration and the trauma that accompanies it. - Aisha Francis

Project: RestoreFIBI Aisha Francis speaking now @wwhealthjustice about the impact of incarceration on families, individual members, where hope and trauma coexist. "We know what the solutions are. We just need the resources to implement them."

Project: RestoreFIBI The shift is underway from a functional to foundational approach. Yes! Wrap around solutions with collaborators centering those with lived experience. No one talks about prison widowhood. #EndStigma How can we improve services for the families impacted?

Whats going on here and who is in charge? - When is Ford going to even acknowledge the magnitude of this crisis? @ddonkor1 Project: RestoreFIBI Keep6ixorg The One By One Movement Inc. Urban Alliance on Race Relations
