When businesses and society maintain closed minds towards justice-impacted individuals, the consequences are profound and far-reaching. The reluctance to offer second chances or opportunities to those with criminal backgrounds perpetuates a cycle of disadvantage and exclusion. To address these consequences, it is crucial for businesses and society to adopt more inclusive practices and open-minded attitudes. Providing fair opportunities for employment, housing, and education, and actively working to dismantle stigmas associated with criminal records, can help justice-impacted individuals reintegrate successfully and contribute positively to their communities.

It's crucial to recognize the significant challenges faced by individuals impacted by the criminal justice system. Finding acceptance and opportunity can be incredibly tough due to biases and closed-mindedness from businesses and individuals in society. This situation often perpetuates a cycle of poverty, recidivism, and social exclusion. Let's work together to break down these barriers, promote understanding, and create inclusive opportunities for all members of our community. By fostering empathy and offering second chances, we can build a more supportive and equitable society where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Non-profit advocacy, lobbying and engagement is declining. There are many reasons for this: - From the increasing ability of money to directly influence legislation; and - The progressively bureaucratic nature of the federal government; - To the declining political power of the vote; and - To the time-poverty that afflicts many Americans making it harder for them to support non-profits or spend time engaging in policy and politics. While advocacy is not going away, we need new ways for communities to solve problems of inequality. This is one of the reasons we started The Difference Engine at ASU - to build a THIRD WAY for communities to solve problems. One where they don't completely have to rely on others, one where communities, not just individuals, are seen as entrepreneurial. And one where communities can work with young people to BUILD their own best solutions to the challenges they face.

Real change starts at the local level. Hyperlocal giving allows us to invest directly in community-led initiatives that address racial equity and the systemic challenges many neighborhoods face. By supporting organizations rooted in the communities they serve, we empower those who are closest to the issues and equipped with the knowledge to drive sustainable solutions. These hyperlocal efforts are essential to addressing disparities in economic opportunities and justice—particularly in areas heavily impacted by mass incarceration. By focusing on specific community needs, we can create pathways to equity and long-term change. Visit the PWF Grants page to learn more about our nonprofit partners. Explore their work, visit their websites, and consider giving directly to support their efforts in building stronger, more equitable communities. https://lnkd.in/g5eZnehv #HyperlocalGiving
