"My life changed for the better more 13 years ago and it is still held against me. I am now a responsible adult with children to raise and bills to pay. I apply for a good paying job I am knocked down and kicked aside." ~ Anonymous- Harford County, MD

In 2014, Baltimore City Councilman Nick Mosby introduced legislation to remove the question about convictions from employment applications of companies doing business in Baltimore. By collaborating with other Reentry advocates and programs, CSA, LLC helped the Bill come out of Committee and be passed by the City Council. Former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake signed the bill into law at the Mayor's Office of Employment Development Reentry Center in Mondawmin Mall.

Legislative Lobbying Efforts
We work with reentry and community organizations, programs and citizens to ensure that legislators gets a clear and unbiased understanding of the needs and demands of the reentry community regarding discrimination, job readiness, employment, education, financial literacy and housing.
We work to mitigate the collateral consequences and the
'Perpetual Punishment'
caused by criminal background checks.
Each year we collaborate with other organizations
to advocate for legislation that will:
1. Reform the Pardon Process.
2. Increase Employment and
Housing Opportunities for People Impacted By
A Criminal Background Record.
This National Fight
Needs YOU!!
Here is a SAMPLE Petition you or your organization can modify to show your Legislators that others support your efforts even though they may not be able to show up to testify.
