Destination Liberation Testimony Videos ?? Meet Christine ? The Destination Liberation Program was developed to bring radical healing to formerly incarcerated Detroit youth by utilizing travel, life skills and youth organizing as a form of resistance in order to reach liberation. No nation has locked up more of its own people per capita than the US. In this 12-week program we were able to give these young people their purpose and power back that society otherwise would have tried to take away from them, indefinitely. Giving them a piece of their power back that essentially undercuts the likelihood of recidivism. At the end of the program, we took a culminating trip to Puerto Rico to continue our teachings, heal and imagine new possibilities. This is the Impact! ???? Special thank you to @skillmanfoundation & The Michigan Justice Fund for being our Partners on this initiative ??????

Destination Liberation Thursdays Recap. We played “The Game of Life” simulation with participants to teach them personal finance. This simulation did not disappoint. First station they had to go through interviews to get hired in somewhere, some got hired and some didn’t. Then once hired, folks got their first paystubs and then went on to find housing which some participants was smart and linked up as roommates to save money on rent. At random, participants would be given “life cards” to showcase the random life hurdles they’ll have to overcome and budget for like car breaking down or rent increase. Then they went on to next station which was transportation. Some opted for the Audi while others just said all I can afford right now is a bus pass. Simulation actors took their jobs seriously…”how you gon finance this Audi and you don’t got a credit score?” Then last station was food and groceries. Baby this activity was gold and the engagement was so high. ?? Like everyone was so engaged and learned alot. Society may see formerly incarcerated people when they look at this group but we see family, we see potential, we see greatness. To our D. Lib family who read this…We love y’all & got yall backs forever ??????????
