Live scan clinic for APP Class 53!

Interested APP participants got a free live scan and will work with our on-site Coordinating Attorney to expunge qualifying convictions. This process can support community members in securing housing, employment, and more going forward.

Second Chance Month came to a close yesterday, but our work to provide crucial opportunities is year-round.

- Tuesday, May 5th at 9am OR
- Thursday, May 7th at 9am

📍Flintridge Center (236 W Mountain St Suite 117, Pasadena, CA 91103)

Please let us know if you have any questions and share with anyone who could be a fit for the program. We’re looking forward to meeting APP Class 53!

Our final Second Chance Month event last night—Arts Beyond Incarceration: a Panel & Community Conversation.

“As I processed the gravity of a life sentence, writing was a blessing for me. That’s what helped me get through all those years,” shared Anton Allison, one of our panelists.

More to come on about this event and Second Chance Month overall, but we want to first thank the panelists for everything they shared, and send our gratitude to everyone who came out to listen.

Panelists include:
- Paul Scott Jr.
- Paul Scott Sr.
- Adolfo Garcia
- Jesus Cuevas Sanchez
- Antwan Allison
- Tyson Atlas

Our final Second Chance Month event is tomorrow! 📝🎵🎤🎭🎨🖌️

Arts Beyond Incarceration—an engaging panel and conversation—will encapsulate the spirit of this event series. Resilence, creativity, and the power of opportunities.

The panel will feature local leaders and artists in conversation about their unique experiences of justice involvement and the art they create.

We can’t wait, and hope you can join us!
