Mission Statement
The Minnesota Second Chance Coalition advocates for a dignified criminal legal system that promotes healing, repair, accountability, and belonging for individuals, families and communities.
Description
The Minnesota Second Chance Coalition is a bipartisan 501(c)3 nonprofit consisting of hundreds of nonprofit member organizations and individuals. Collectively, we believe in second chances, the principle that persons who have been punished for crimes should have meaningful opportunities to live, work, and grow as people after serving their debts to society. Through professional training, grassroots mobilization, and legislative outreach, our mission is to "advocate fair and responsible laws, policies, and practices . . . enabling individuals who have been involved in the justice system to fully support themselves and contribute to their communities to their full potential." Our work touches upon fair hiring, housing, voting, and sentencing practices.
