The 2022 U.S. midterm elections gave voters an opportunity to have a voice in the policies that will shape the future of our communities and country. Americans weighed in on critical issues such as preserving fair and safe elections, protecting access to abortion, advancing criminal justice reform and much more.

Today, nearly 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has a criminal record, and millions more interact with the justice system each year. Even a small interaction with the criminal legal system can make it difficult for a person to regain economic stability and can create lifelong hardship for the families impacted.

Today, we are pleased to share more with you about the Justice and Mobility Fund, a philanthropic collaboration investing $250 million in boosting economic mobility and improving the life trajectories of people impacted by the criminal justice system. We are proud to co-sponsor this important initiative, along with Blue Meridian Partners and the Ford Foundation.
