( How Our Lives Link Altogether). After serving time on Rikers Island, being incarcerated as a youth in the juvenile system, and serving a four year sentence in New York's prison system, the need for reform and change was inevitable. Witnessing the trauma and oppression driven by the system, he began organizing upon his release in April 2016. Leading trauma-based workshops in the community and building relationships with organizations from numerous states was key to making the issue of mass incarceration a front line conversation.

( How Our Lives Link Altogether). After serving time on Rikers Island, being incarcerated as a youth in the juvenile system, and serving a four year sentence in New York's prison system, the need for reform and change was inevitable. Witnessing the trauma and oppression driven by the system, he began organizing upon his release in April 2016. Leading trauma-based workshops in the community and building relationships with organizations from numerous states was key to making the issue of mass incarceration a front line conversation. He is now a student at Laguardia Community College and plans to transfer upon his graduation to continue his education in social justice work. Philip understands that the fight for freedom is a lifetime commitment and restoring hope in the community is a challenge that requires daily passion and strategic organizing strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af99eb550a54f8953f66c1f/1530741124867-59K8FNPFPDFYANZQ890J/machlie-holla-header.png Team-bio-gallery - Machlie Edouard Healing Justice Organizer Machlie is a Healing Justice Organizer who joined How Our Lives Link Altogether!
