The Ordinary People’s Society is pleased to announce the second “People’s Family Reunion for Formally Incarcerated People our Friends, Family & Loved ones” will take place at the second US Social Forum in Detroit, MI. TOPS is based in Alabama and is dedicated to solving the injustices around formally incarcerated people locally, state-wide, regionally and nationally. During the first US Social Forum we worked with partner organizations to develop the idea of a People’s Family Reunion to take place during social forums. The goal of the Family Reunion is to develop a space to gather, share strategies, build relationships across organizations & communities that are working on issues related to the prison industrial complex. The first People’s Family Reunion brought together almost 2000 people in a local park in Atlanta with speakers, food, and tables of organizations doing work to end the injustices that formally incarcerated people face in our society. TOPS would like to thank the local leadership in Detroit for helping to organize and host this Family Reunion process because we know what it means to have so many people coming from around the country to your city and the need to respect local leaders who are doing the work every day to make another world possible. Together we can make another historic gathering happen and advance the movement for social change as it relates to the Prison Industrial Complex.
