NEWS: The Saint Paul City Council passed a resolution in support of the principles of the MN Second Chance Coalition and in acknowledgement of Second Chance Day on the Hill. This is a great testament to the tireless work done by all of the coalition partners, the hundreds of supporters who continue to attend the Day on the Hill and the many individuals with criminal records who continue to struggle to find housing and employment. Read the Resolution here
The Minnesota Second Chance Coalition is a partnership of over 50 organizations that advocate for fair and responsible laws, policies, and practices that allow those who have committed crimes to redeem themselves, fully support themselves and their families, and contribute to their communities to their full potential.
You can join us and get involved by hiring ex-offenders, joining us at Second Chance events, and advocating for policy changes.
Join us for Second Chance Day on the Hill!
Each year the Second Chance Coalition brings hundreds of ex-offenders and their supporters to the Minnesota State Capitol to rally and meet with legislators. Click here to learn more about the upcoming Second Chance Day on the Hill!
