FREE Help with Felony Removal

#CHAMP47 Removes Barriers
Is a felony preventing you from moving forward in your life?

Increasingly, a proportion of people in the United States, especially from lower income communities and people of color, has been increasingly marginalized in civic and political life. For most people with felony convictions, civil rights and privileges are unimaginably obtainable. Studies have shown that gaining employment and promotions continue to become more challenging. In addition, to limited resources, access to benefits, the right to vote and adequate housing are only a few socio-economical and disenfranchised consequences you may be faced with. 

CHAMP 47 (Creating Healthy Alternatives Mobilizing Prop. 47), an initiative of Time For Change Foundation created to implement Proposition 47 gives hope to our community that you can live a sustaining and prosperous life after incarceration. The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, which was approved by voters in November 2014 and CHAMP 47 campaign will help to improve our communities’ quality of life and restore our families.

U.S. Sen. and 2016 Presidential Candidate Rand Paul (R) praised "PROP 47 does have the potential to help tens of thousands of Californians gain their freedom and work towards rebuilding their lives. The sooner individuals with qualifying convictions take action to reduce their sentences, the greater the impact of this law will be."
