Programs described in its return (3)
- $91,890 spent. IMPPACT (Informing Marginalized Peoples Power And Cultivating Transformation), is an alliance of formerly incarcerated Georgia voters, forging a movement through engagement, education, mobilization and voter registration of people with felony convictions. As a direct result of the passage of SB105, nearly 500,000 Georgians have the opportunity to be reenfranchised through early termination of their probation, and eligible to vote, but uninformed of their rights and unregistered.
- $50,000 spent. T.R.A.S.H/HERvalue: HERvalue presents uplifting women/girls events for impacted women and girls.T.R.A.S.H. (Traumatic Realities American Society Hides) - our mixed-media storytelling program provides the opportunity for women impacted by incarceration to choose their own artistic medium to tell their story, and a platform to share it. Often, HERvalue and T.R.A.S.H programming work in tandem where events are held to provide a space for impacted women and girls to display their mixed-media storytelling pieces with an audience of community members and stakeholder. This is also an opportunity for the women to meet and network with other women with shared experiences.
- $25,000 spent. ACC=SS App (Active Community Connections Equal Safe Solutions) is a mobile app, developed by RestoreHER to provide reentry resources (direct services) and connections to combat barriers justice-involved people face when returning to their communities - education, jobs, food, clothes, housing, and more. The ACC=SS app is in its final stages of testing.
