Reentry Lobby Day - Annapolis, Maryland

Rally for Second Chances

On March 1, 2012, hundreds of Marylanders descended on the capital to advocate for policies to reduce barriers to employment for people with criminal records. (Click here for video coverage.) The daylong event included a rally on Lawyers' Mall, legislator visits, informative workshops, and numerous reentry bill hearings. Legislation is pending now in Annapolis on issues such as banning the box and criminal record shielding. Contact Melissa Broome for information on how you can help support these important initiatives.

60% of employers use credit history checks as a tool in their pre-employment screening, even if the information has no relation to the job.
