CHAINLESS CHANGE

Damean had to advocate for himself both while entangled in the criminal legal system and upon his reentry into the community. Through personal development, he learned how to navigate the difficult terrain of adult life with little to no peer support. At Chainless Change, he uses his lived experience to support others navigating that same terrain. He views his role as a Peer Support Specialist in the same way a member of DC's Justice League views theirs: both necessary and noble... Through advocacy, we fight for lasting change that prioritizes care over cages, housing and healthcare over handcuffs, books over bars, and jobs over jails.
