Smaller firms widely support legislation that improves second-chance hiring opportunities for justice-impacted individuals. However, many also have limited resources to fully engage on large-scale reform issues. We are happy to join the Workforce and Justice Alliance to drive change and support small businesses looking to address these critical issues across the country.” Checkr, a background company dedicated to supporting reentry, is no stranger to these issues. “We believe people with records should have the opportunity to move forward from their past – but that requires action to get rid of the obstacles facing returning citizens,” said Checkr CEO and co-founder Daniel Yanisse. “Policy solutions can help them get back on their feet.” The WJA is supported by the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice (RBIJ), an international nonprofit that works with companies to champion criminal justice reform measures. By joining the WJA, members are signalling their commitment to do the same.
