Felony impacted liberation movement
The Felony Impacted Liberation Movement is a powerful force uniting the felony-impacted community. While those who are directly impacted, individuals with a felony conviction, are at the heart of this movement, the ripple effect extends far beyond them. Felony incarceration affects families, friends, neighbors, and entire communities. It doesn’t just change the life of one person; it reshapes the world around them.
