Today is the first day of our inaugural national #SecondChancesInAction™ campaign, a powerful call-to-action symbolizing the pursuit of freedom from the weight of a criminal record through awareness and community-led initiatives.
This April, JustLeadershipUSA® and the JustUS Coordinating Council™ are connecting systems-impacted people, advocates, and organizations across the country to share resources and activities that reclaim opportunities, rebuild reputations, and break the chains of the past in order to start fresh.
Join us by supporting Second Chance proclamations, expungements, and pardons, and participating in activities like bringing elected officials to prisons and jails, hosting job fairs, and organizing reentry simulations.
