The Legal Action Center of the City of New York Inc (LAC)’s mission is to fight discrimination and advocate sound public policies on behalf of those with histories of addiction, HIV/AIDS or criminal involvement. This grant will support the LAC’s advocacy to expand record sealing expungement, broaden sentencing reform, lower barriers to reentry and advance additional justice reforms. In order to accomplish these goals, LAC will meet with key policymakers and regulators, create educational materials, hold listening sessions, collaborate with community-based and legal defender organizations, conduct polling, create op-eds and opinion pieces and collect stories from the directly impacted to support communications efforts.
