The "Unlock the Ties That Bind" 5K Run & Walk is an empowerment and advocacy event organized by Going Into Pieces Movement Inc. This initiative aligns with the nonprofit’s mission to support underserved and vulnerable populations including men human trafficking survivors teen fathers and individuals struggling with mental health challenges. The event aims to raise awareness foster community engagement and provide resources for those in need.


Through this 5K run participants come together to symbolize resilience healing and the power of moving forward despite life’s obstacles. The event serves as a platform for advocacy encouraging open conversations about mental health suicide prevention and emotional well-being. It also helps generate support for the organization’s men program 3rd Eye Anchored men’s emotional well-being initiative.

Men can and do experience sexual assault, human trafficking, and various forms of abuse. These issues often receive less attention due to societal stigmas, stereotypes, and misconceptions about masculinity. Many men struggle to speak out or seek help due to fear of judgment, lack of resources, or the misconception that abuse primarily affects women.

Raising awareness is crucial to ensuring survivors regardless of gender receive the support, protection, and justice they deserve. Events like Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K and initiatives focused on men’s emotional well-being help break the silence and create safe spaces for healing and advocacy.
