Tackle the Shackles (TTS) is a community based movement to reduce prison recidivism by empowering Returning Citizens to obtain jobs, affordable housing, transportation, and have the assistance of a Life Coach. Our goal is to partner with current and former NFL Football players, Reentry Resource Providers, Law Enforcement and Returning Citizens to give them an opportunity to network and "team-up" for this worthy cause.
The main focus for this event is to Meet, Greet, and Eat with other like minded individuals and organizations and to build resource and relationship capacities for the purpose of reducing prison recidivism. Therefore, we believe that reentry works best networking with the right partnerships. "Many hands make lighter work!"
