So much joy and love at the Fall Harvest 🍂 It's a beautiful reminder of what happens when the Bronx comes together. 📸 rtgnorth779

If we stop believing in redemption, we stop believing in people. At BronxConnect, we know that even in the darkest circumstances, there’s light and a chance to begin again.

Too many young people are questioned by police without understanding their rights or having legal representation present. The #Right2RemainSilentAct would change that. Because real justice starts with protection, not punishment.

Reentry shouldn’t mean starting from zero yet 1 in 5 formerly incarcerated people is food insecure. It's a reminder that true justice includes access to the essentials: food, housing, opportunity, and hope.

Smiles, solidarity, and standing up for youth. Grateful for everyone who joined us and will be joining us in calling for the #Right2RemainSilentAct to pass.

Accountability should be rooted in community, not punishment. The U.S. continues to rely on prisons, probation, and parole, but restorative justice is proven to reduce rearrest by 41.5%. Imagine if we invested more in solutions that actually work.

Grateful for our neighborhoods, our young people, and the community that always shows up. The recent Turkey Giveaway was a celebration of what makes the Bronx strong. 🎥 rtgnorth779

Everyday moments in the Bronx tell a bigger story. Our young people are navigating life, responsibility, and opportunity. It's important that they never have to walk it alone. 📸 denn_ice

Art becomes transformation when young people have space to lead. This session gave them room to create, experiment, and dream bigger. And the result? Something special inside and outside of the studio. 🎥 losoprano718

Thousands of people die inside every year, and families are left to navigate barriers no one should face. If we’re going to talk about justice, we have to talk about dignity for every person, in every stage of life.

Justice isn’t complete until young people have the support they need to become who they’re meant to be. Healing is part of that journey.

Sharing a recap from the days leading up to Thanksgiving. Our RTG North staff and neighbors made sure no one celebrated alone or without support. These small moments of care add up. 📸 rtgnorth779
