End Employment Discrimination

Campaign to End Employment Discrimination Goes National

The question “Have you been convicted?” appears on applications for jobs, housing, vocational licensing, benefits, entrance to college, student loans and insurance. It is part of a pattern of discrimination that denies formerly-incarcerated people the right to sustain ourselves and our families. Initiated and led by formerly-incarcerated people, LSPC project All of Us or None’s Ban the Box campaign—to eliminate the box requiring criminal records disclosure and to end unnecessary background checks—has sparked a national movement. Ban the Box policies have been adopted in 6 states and 23 cities or counties nationally, including California!
