Of the 2.7 million people who are incarcerated in our prison systems across America, 650,000 will be released this year and 63% will return within 3 years. Recidivism impacts all communities and Optimum refuses to sit idly by without action. We have dedicated the entire month of October to providing 13 comprehensive economic empowerment workshops to those in jeopardy of becoming institutionalized within the US prison system.
To culminate Optimum October Fight Against Recidvism, we invite the ENTIRE community to join us on Saturday, October 31, 2009 for The Optimum Economic Empowerment Resource Rally for FREE education, training, food and inspiration!
"If you don't have a job...you need to be here. If you do have a job...you need to be here. No matter if you have a job or not, you need to inform all of those who are seeking employment about this event. If they have a felony...doesn't matter...send them out as well because we have programs to find them jobs and assistance. It is time for us to band together in this volatile economy. I hope to see you all on Saturday!"
