Family Information, Resource & Support Team (FIRST) Hub
The FIRST Hub is being established in the Lansing area to provide resources and support to those navigating the criminal legal system, incarcerated individuals and their loved ones.
Stay connected with FIRST Hub! Follow us on social media for updates, resources, and community engagement.
The FIRST Hub Guiding Principles:
1
Family and community strength can play a pivotal role in stopping and reducing incarceration for a loved one and a community.
2
Families and communities can be even more powerful when taking the role of organizer and agent of change, rather than service recipient.
3
By working on individual cases, communities can build the movement of directly impacted people to hold the actors of the court accountable, make systemic change, and ultimately end mass incarceration.
