Thought Leadership Series
Individuals impacted by the justice system faces tremendous obstacles that prevent them from achieving economic mobility. In the U.S. there are thousands of collateral consequences. These are legal and regulatory restrictions that limit or prohibit people convicted of crimes from accessing employment, business and occupational licensing, housing, voting, education, and other rights, benefits, and opportunities.
In this webinar we will learn strategies and approaches that have proven to help people who have been impacted by the justice system to get on a path towards economic mobility. The session will challenge us to be thoughtful in how we prepare, train, and place participants in jobs and career pathways that can transform their lives and break the cycle of poverty.
Date: Friday, March 4, 2022

Virtual Second Chance Day On The Hill
Every year, the Minnesota Second Chance Coalition hosts Second Chance Day on the Hill at the Minnesota State Capitol. Join us for this year's virtual event to hear stories, meet with our lawmakers, and advocate for policies that advance second chances in Minnesota.
This year's Second Chance Day is focused on Felony Murder Law Reform. Minnesota Second Chance Coalition believes that people should not be punished for the actions of another. However, because of Minnesota's aiding and abetting felony murder doctrine, people can be punished for murder even when they didn't kill anyone, nor even intend for another person to die. A recent study (report and executive summary linked on this page) shows that this doctrine is used to over-punish Black people and young people at disproportionate rates. We stand with Felony Murder Law Reform in calling for changes so that Minnesotans are only held accountable for the mistakes that they make, and not punished for the homicidal acts of another.
Second Chance Day on the Hill 2022 schedule:
Rally: Tuesday March 1st 12pm-1:30pm. Join us for this event on our Facebook page, where we'll be live! Add a reminder to your calendar here.
Legislative visits: Tuesday March 1st 1:30pm-4:30pm and Wednesday March 2nd 9am-1pm. These will be held via zoom and last about 20 minutes per visit. Your specific visit times depend on the availability of your representative and senator on March 1 and 2. MNSCC will schedule one visit with each, and be back in touch with your visit schedule and to answer any questions you have. Register for visits at the link above, or click here. Please register no later than February 22, 2022 to allow us time to schedule your visits.
We'll also have a legislative priorities training on Saturday, February 26th from 1-2pm. Join us if your interested in learning more about our priorities and the legislative process. https://mnsecondchance.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/mnsecondchance/event.jsp?event=40&

Beyond Backgrounds is Expanding!
In the next few months Beyond Backgrounds will open to anyone in the state of Minnesota who qualifies! Gone are the days of needing a referral.
Any renter with barriers in their background can directly apply when the new program opens!
What is Beyond Backgrounds?
A program that helps renters with barriers in their background find a place to live.
When a landlord rents to a Beyond Backgrounds participant, they have access to up to $2,000 of free insurance in the following circumstances:
• Damage to the unit beyond what the security deposit covers.
• Unpaid rent at the end of the lease term beyond what is covered by the security deposit.
• Court filing fees if an eviction is pursued beyond what is covered by the security deposit.
• Other unfortunate circumstances beyond what is covered by the security deposit.
This makes it easier for the renter to find a place to live by supporting landlords willing to show flexibility.
This expansion of Beyond Backgrounds is possible through the support of Greater MN Housing Fund, Otto Bremer Foundation and St. Paul Foundation.
