Join the Workers Center for Racial Justice (WCRJ) in supporting our Formerly Incarcerated Person (FIP) legislation for equitable job Access.  

The SAFER Communities Act (HB 3491/SB 1771) is a grassroots policy proposal that would promote job access for formerly incarcerated Illinoisans, improve public safety in our communities, and deliver economic relief for thousands of local businesses in communities most impacted by mass incarceration. It would establish a living wage job creation program for formerly incarcerated residents and offer local employers wage subsidies for hiring candidates with conviction records into newly created, high-quality jobs.

Join WCRJ as we continue to convene community leaders, lawmakers, impacted individuals, and businesses to pass and fund the SAFER Communities Act;

• Urge members of the Illinois General Assembly to stand with us
• Call upon state leaders to invest in safety, equity, and justice in our neighborhoods.
• Attand Monthly Lobby Days to Springfield and receive Grassroots Advocacy & Policy Training to advocate and lobby legislatures
• Canvass and phonebank in key legislative districts
• Campaign Text Parties
