Video Resources for Returning Citizens

Mass Liberation Youtube Channel – Our Youtube channel has videos on many topics that are essential knowledge for folks returning home in the modern world. They include everything from personal finance and housing to relationships and reunifying with family. While some of our content is California-specific, we hope that all of it will be of use to anyone returning home from incarceration.

Family Support Seminar – In May, 2022, Mass Liberation held a seminar to provide information for people who have loved ones coming home. The videos contain guidance such as how best to help your loved ones before, during, and throughout their transition, covering topics such as what items those returning home do and don’t need, how to navigate transitional housing and parole, and what sorts of emotional and social support they may need.
