Marco Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) ABOUT US STAND UP Inc. is based upon changing the lives of those caught in the street life, which involves drugs, guns, violence, and prison. STAND UP will provide resources to youth, men and women in and out of the prison system. We believe that the need for change is understanding that individuals, especially our youth. STAND UP believes in the power of a healthy body, a nurtured soul and a curious mind; we believe that our past mistakes offer critical stepping stones from which to learn and teach. We want to help people draw on their innate intelligence while understanding their emotions in order to transform negative behaviors into positive achievement. STAND UP is committed to making positive change by reaching out to residents of all ages in communities ravaged by gun violence and gang activity. By providing tools and resources to young and old alike, STAND UP helps people reflect, learn, act and evolve to embrace the healthy, caring, stable individual within, and to transform the surrounding community through positivity and activism. LIFESTYLE REFORM For those striving to create a change in their lives STAND UP allows formerly incarcerated individuals to positively transition into the community. This support group provides assistance and an outlet for these individuals to make a positive change in their life and the community. The Cure Violence Model is oriented around selected members of the community, who provides assistance to “at risk” individuals and the community through conflict mediation, community engagement, and transitional support. Approaching violence in this way allows for behavioral changes and positivity to arise within individual lives and our community. END POLICE ABUSE STAND UP's goal is to protect the human and civil rights of black individuals in their encounters with law enforcement and detention facility personnel. We aim to promote the accountability of law enforcement officers and their employers for violations of the Constitution and the laws of the United States, and engage in direct lobbying action to offer solutions.
