Call to Action: Revive

ReviveWords

Revive opportunity by capitalizing on bipartisan support for criminal justice reform. Support programs and policy designed to help young, nonviolent offenders get on paths to careers and stable, productive lives.

YOUTH & COMMUNITY LEADERS / POLICYMAKERS

  • Support bipartisan policy initiatives that seek to give Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes a second chance at the American Dream by preventing mistakes made while young from turning into future criminal behavior and by helping young adults who commit nonviolent crimes become more self-reliant and less likely to commit future crimes.

EMPLOYERS

  • Lead by hiring and/or training post-adjudicated youth and young adults who are on probation for nonviolent crimes.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS / NONPROFITS & PHILANTHROPY

  • Develop and support programs that help youth both within and released from the juvenile justice system to complete high school or a GED program and receive a post-secondary credential.
