Policy & Advocacy
We empower businesses in the U.S. and the U.K. to champion policy solutions that make the criminal justice system fairer and the workforce stronger.
Our Work
When justice is rooted in rehabilitation — not retribution — it fuels strong communities, thriving businesses, and a resilient economy.
Yet too often, outdated policies block people with criminal records from accessing jobs — even long after they’ve paid their debt to society.
RBIJ mobilizes our network of nearly 800 justice-minded companies to use their influence to break down these barriers, working in partnership with local leaders on nearly a dozen policy areas.
Together, we’re championing meaningful reforms that open up new talent pipelines, turn sidelined job seekers into thriving employees, and build a more just and inclusive workforce.
