Open Mic Night

Second Chance Month is a national observance that highlights the importance of supporting individuals returning home from incarceration and strengthening pathways to successful reentry. Throughout April, the Mayor's Office on Returning Citizen Affairs (MORCA) will host a series of events and initiatives focused on connecting returning citizens with employment opportunities, critical resources, and community support.

Open Mic Night provides a platform for returning citizens to share their voices and experiences through spoken word, poetry, and storytelling. The event celebrates creativity and resilience while fostering community dialogue around second chances, personal growth, and transformation.
