    Verde Valley AZ (January 3, 2011) – MATFORCE’s January 12 Lunch ‘n Learn will focus on the newly formed Yavapai Reentry Project. The project is helping adults who are leaving prison and returning to Yavapai County. Programs such as this have proven successful in other areas, with almost a 40% reduction in people returning to prison.

    The goals of the program include providing referrals to basic services such as housing, employment, education, healthcare, and substance abuse counseling along with building positive community relationships through family members, friends, and volunteers.

    The Lunch ‘n Learn will also provide information on becoming a Yavapai Reentry Project Community Coach.  A Community Coach is a volunteer trained to aid in referrals, emotional support and resource information. No experience is necessary. Free training for coaches will be held on February 9 in Cottonwood and February 10 in Prescott. You can register for the training at the Lunch ‘n Learn or by calling 928-708-0100.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
