Tonight Thurs 2/10 at 10 pm KTVU News!!! Ban the Box
Tune in tonight, Thursday at 10 p.m. on KTVU Channel 2 News to see a report on the "Ban the Box" issue.
What is "Ban the Box" ???
The elimination of the questions about past convictions on initial
public employment applications. Our aim is to win policy change through grassroots mobilizations, and to build a political movement of formerly-incarcerated activists. This campaign will allow us to target and challenge the many “boxes” on a variety of applications (i.e. employment, housing, social services, etc.) we are required to check that supports structural discrimination against formerly-incarcerated people.
