The PTS Movement
"Prison to the Streets
Who is Prison to the Streets Movement?
The PTS Movement meaning "prison to the streets
movement," is a movement of men and women who were once a part of the
prison system as inmates, who are committed to doing what is right for self and
community.
Using our artistic skills as
writers, producers, performers, actors and the many arts, we channel these
energies towards our youth in an attempt to teach them not to do wrong based on
our past experiences.
We do this
through music and films and other means.
We believe that "a wise man will learn from the mistakes of
others." We feel through our past misfortunes which sent us to prison and
present agenda of "building a better community," we can be a
springboard for positive change in our communities nationwide. Because who
better than us to reach out to them?
The PTS Movement:
The purpose of the
Eagle Fellowship is to organize the people we serve and to create a united
voice through our guidance and to create a network that collectively and
cooperatively works together on social and economic issues, to find solutions
and carry them out thereby fulfilling the mission of the NCN "building a
better community."
And to build
better character from among and within our fellowship, because we realize we
are stronger when united and together our body is the
temple of God.
We are a spiritual body but not a religious order. Though we are directed by
God, we are not guided by any specific religious doctrine and therefore is
bound by the purposes, mission and vision of the NCN during our fellowship
meetings, addressing community issues.
The PTS Movement, who are committed to building a better
community. What goes on in those
meetings is closed to the public and stays within this group, thereby creating
an environment of trust and integrity. Also
note that many of our members of the PTS Movement hold religious titles such as
Minister and Reverend allowing them to congregate with other felons in doing
what they understand is the work of God.
