People with a criminal record face all kinds of barriers. Are you curious about how you can #BeTheKey?

April 4, 2023 by Emily Andrews

1. Educate yourself and others on the struggles of having a criminal record.

2. Pray for people with a criminal record.

3. Share on social media about why you want to #BeTheKey.

4. Pledge to be the key in your sphere of influence and help people find housing, employment, transportation, child care, and more.

5. Ask lawmakers to remove barriers for men and women with a criminal record who have faced their consequences and are ready for a fresh start.

6. Take other advocacy actions to support voting rights, Pell Grants, and more second chance opportunities.

7. Become a Justice Ambassador and raise your voice for justice that restores.

7 Ways You Can Be the Key

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

When terms of community supervision are unjustly long, or conditions are too restrictive, we waste human potential, perpetuate the cycle of crime, and erode family stability. Act now and ask your governor to make community supervision more effective.
