Education Justice Project

EJP is excited to share that the Reentry Guide Initiative is now the Reentry Resource Program. Members decided on this name change to reflect the enormous growth we’ve experienced in recent years. We now have a robust suite of reentry resources including the first national prison reentry guide in the US. We’re using our expertise to provide technical assistance to organizations throughout the US to create guides for their communities through our Reentry Guide Project. We’re no longer an initiative but a full-fledged, model Reentry Resource Program. #ejp #ejpatil #educationjusticeproject #namechange #resources #reentryresources #reentryresourceprogram #rrp

Does your community lack a prison reentry guide? Have you ever thought that you or your organization might be in a good position to create one? We're accepting applications for our Reentry Guide Project. This program includes two workshops, a $4,000 grant and technical assistance for a year to get your reentry guide off the ground. The deadline is today, July 19, 2024.

Reentry Guide Initiative director Lee Ragsdale and emergency fund and scholarship coordinator Erick Nava visited the US border with Tijuana this week. They shared copies of our deportation guide, A New Path with staffers at the newly opened Deportee Welcome Center. They had seen the guide in pdf form but were very excited to get hard copies. About 100 people a day are deported from the U.S. and released at the “El Chaparral” border crossing. The Deportee Welcome Center is there to provide information, socks and undies, and a warm reception from other people who have been through the trauma of deportation.
