We will explore the impact of mass incarceration in Texas and within the Texas prison system.

The Rev. Chad McCall will host Sharon McKinney, President of TIFA, and LaKeidru Blaylock, Senior Chapter Chair of TIFA for this conversation.

We hope this event will help us reflect more deeply on our core value of Engaging Boundaries. "We confront boundaries that were put in place by privilege, power and prejudice that keep people from living Grace-filled, authentic lives."

Through the Grow With Google Program, TIFA is providing digital skills training and resources to the justice-impacted community. Lessons vary from fundamental digital skills, such as how to apply for jobs online and create a resume, to more advanced topics, including entrepreneurship and business budgeting. Google's financial support allows us to continue to grow our mission of education, advocacy, and organizing while breaking the digital skills barrier to reentry. If you have been impacted by the criminal justice system and need digital literacy classes, call our Executive Director Sharon McKinney at 512-371-0900 or email her at [email protected].
