🎉 Celebrating 20 years of impact!
Join us as we reflect on our journey with Founder A.T. Mitchell. He shares his personal story, the founding of Man Up Inc., and the progress we've made in making neighborhoods safer.
Our mission is fueled by our commitment to violence prevention, youth empowerment, and community building. We couldn't have reached this milestone without your continued support.
Together, we're creating a brighter future for our neighborhoods. 💪✨

Violence cannot become normal in our communities.
When a shooting happens, we cannot move like it’s business as usual. We have to pull up. We have to be visible. We have to let our people know somebody cares enough to stand up and say, “Enough.”
When trusted voices show up in the streets, it sends a message:
Our neighborhoods are not abandoned.
Our community still has a voice.
And we will not accept violence as normal.

Healing doesn’t only happen in meetings, marches, or crisis response.
Sometimes healing looks like laughter, fellowship, music, and a community softball game. ⚾🖤
Man Up! Inc. understands that bringing people together matters. Creating safe spaces for joy, connection, and positive community interaction is part of the work too. 🕊️
This is bigger than violence prevention.
This is about rebuilding relationships, restoring hope, and reminding our people that we deserve moments of peace and unity. ✨
This is Man Up in action. 💪🏾 #CommunityHealing #SoftballGame #HealingInAction # #Fellowship
Yesterday, Man Up Inc. proudly welcomed over 75 amazing mothers to the PJAC Center for our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. 💐✨
This was more than just a brunch. It was a celebration of love, healing, strength, and sisterhood for the women who hold our families and communities together every day. 💕
From the laughter and fellowship to the food and beautiful moments shared, the room was filled with joy, resilience, and appreciation. 🌸
Today, we honor every mother, grandmother, auntie, and woman who continues to lead with love through every challenge. Your strength shapes generations and your presence keeps our communities alive. 👑
Happy Mother’s Day from the entire Man Up Inc. family. We celebrate you today and every day. ❤️

“When violence hits our neighborhoods, business as usual is not an option.” 💔✊🏾
Brother Curly speaks from the heart about the responsibility of showing up for our communities in real time. While others look away, Man Up! Inc. is on the ground responding, supporting families, interrupting violence, and fighting to reclaim our neighborhoods with love, accountability, and action. 🕊️🏘️
We cannot normalize pain.
We cannot become numb to the loss.
We must respond. We must organize. We must protect our communities. 🔥
This is what community leadership looks like. 💪🏾

April 29th we were blessed to work with @atmitchell_mann & @manupinc to feed a few in need… this is only the start! God willing, many more will be feed very soon ⚡️#brooklyn #eastnewyork #feedthehungry #sirssandwiches
“Never be ashamed of who you are or where you come from.”
That part.
Powerful words from our founder, AT Mitchell-Man, reminding the next generation that struggle does not define your future. Your pain can become purpose. Your story can become somebody else’s survival guide.
Stay focused. Stay grounded. Keep pushing forward.

Flag football champions 🏈🏆
These young leaders showed what happens when discipline, teamwork, and confidence come together on the field.
Through flag football, they’re not just winning games—they’re building character, leadership, and resilience.
At Man Up! Inc., this is how we invest in our youth and shape the future. 💪🏾✊🏾
From the streets to the classroom.
Brother Andre, Program Specialist at Man Up! Inc., helped bring the work of the organization to New York University—creating space for students to learn directly from those doing the work on the ground.
This is what it looks like when lived experience meets academic research. ✊🏾
Throwback to the holiday season 🎄
While the world celebrates giving during Christmas, at Man Up! Inc., this is what we do all year long.
The mission doesn’t take a day off. The work doesn’t stop after the holidays.
We show up every day for our community—with love, with purpose, and with commitment. 💛
Nine years of commitment. Nine years of showing up. Nine years of standing on purpose.
At Man Up! Inc., we know this mission can’t be done alone. It takes people who are truly dedicated to the work and the community.
Sister Atarah is one of those people. She helps keep us grounded, aligned, and moving with intention every single day.
We see you. We appreciate you. We honor you. 💛✊🏾
