On the evening of November 15th, The Reentry Project will host: “The Reentry Blueprint: Stories and Solutions from the Formerly Incarcerated,” an open public event at the Franklin Institute, to advance the conversation on reentry in Philadelphia. We expect the audience to be a broad cross section of Philadelphians– from everyday folks to politicians, from business leaders to criminal justice experts.
The highlight of the event will be six “Lightning Talks”– 10 minute-long presentations by formerly incarcerated people on solutions to reentry challenges.
This is an open call to give one of these Lightning Talks. If you are a formerly incarcerated individual who has a reentry solution idea and is prepared to deliver an engaging and innovative presentation on this idea – please fill out this form to be considered for the event. Your reentry model, approach, or program must have proven track record through evidence based evaluation or through sustained support and success from within the community.
Here are some topics we are interested in, but we are open to others as well:
• Home ownership
• Harnessing the political power of the formerly incarcerated
• Violence Prevention
• Entrepreneurship
• Trauma-informed care
