Released TODAY! We've just published Voices of Redemption: A National Survey of People with Records a report that reveals the experiences of people w/ a record of arrest, conviction or incarceration: what led to their record, what they experience because of it, and what they think drives crime in communities asj.allianceforsafetyandjustice.org/people-with-re…

'"Without access to good jobs, decent housing, education opportunities, and more, a significant portion of the U.S. population is pushed into poverty and instability," @misterjayjordan said.' Thanks @CBSNews for reporting on our new survey of people with records! cbsnews.com/news/employmen…

At the 2023 Two Days in May convening @OhioAG honored Brenda Glass with the Special Courage Award for helping victims heal with the Trauma Recovery Center model approach. Stopping the cycle of crime starts w/ support people in crisis. m.youtube.com/watch?v=NpH74H…

Leadership looks like #TimeDone Champion @RepDaveJoyce advancing changes that remove bureaucracies and barriers to employment, housing and stability for people with past convictions & their families.

The key to interrupting the cycle of trauma, harm, or violence is to immediately address the root cause in order to stop it from happening again. #TraumaHealing #CrimeSurvivors #CommunitySafety

“The Alliance for Safety and Justice regularly surveys victims of violence and crime, and this essential trove of information has proved remarkably consistent… 96 percent did not receive any victim’s compensation.” theappeal.org/national-crime…

Today was a good day in Michigan. #SurvivorsSpeak💙🧡
