Empowering Women And Children Impacted By The Criminal Justice System
Greetings!

This past Monday night, I was honored to be the recipient of theatre company Houses on the Moon Mauricio Leyton Award. This award is given annually to an individual who has amplified the voices of the unheard in their community.

We recognize the arts as a powerful venue for change and a space that often allows people the opportunity to see beyond their own life experiences. We are grateful for Houses of the Moon for their dedication to amplifying the voices of those who have been harmed by the carceral system.

At the heart of New Hour, this is our mission. We do everything we can to speak for those who have have been systemically ignored, to uplift women and families impacted by incarceration and ultimately to create unity and compassion in our community.
One of the ways we mitigate the trauma and stigma of incarceration is by offering practical resources and learning opportunities for our members. Beginning this Friday, October 14th, New Hour will host an 8-series of weekly financial wellness trainings. Members will learn budgeting basics, how to build credit and how to think about savings and building financial and generational wealth. You can learn more about this class and refer to anyone who identifies as a woman and is impacted by incarceration to apply here.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our work. This is your New Hour.

With gratitude,

Serena & The New Hour Team
