A pardon is a powerful tool for people who deserve a second chance. In Pennsylvania, the pardon process is free and more accessible than ever before. The West Philly Pardon Network was created to help members of our community who were once convicted of a crime, completed their sentence, and turned their lives around \u2013 and only their past is holding them back from pursuing their potential.<\/p>\n

If you’re someone who has a criminal record and is considering seeking a pardon, there are several benefits to doing so. Firstly, a pardon can help remove the stigma and barriers that come with having a criminal record, making it easier to find employment, housing, and education opportunities. Additionally, a pardon can provide a sense of closure and allow you to move on from your past, freeing you to pursue personal and professional growth. The potential benefits of a pardon are significant and can create a range of opportunities that may not have been available otherwise. We want to help you realize this opportunity!<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania is leading the nation in pardon reform! The pardon process is entirely free, a lawyer is not necessary, and over 80% of the people going before the PA Board of Pardons actually end up with a pardon! Over a ten-year period, pardons brought over $16.5 million dollars in higher wages into communities all across the state<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. West Philly deserves its fair share!<\/p>\n

The West Philly Pardon Network began with 15 community leaders meeting to discuss what could be done about how criminal records \u2013 people\u2019s pasts \u2013 are keeping our whole neighborhood in poverty. We came together at the invitation of Shuja Moore, a fourth-generation West Philadelphian, who is an award-winning film director and producer and \u00a0is still serving a sentence for a crime he committed in 2004. Inviting as many civic, business and non-profit leaders as we could, we held a screening of his documentary Pardon Me<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> at the Paul Robeson House on February 14 and, because of the great interest, followed it up with two free training programs on February 27 and 29. \u00a0We are the ONLY \u201cPardon Network\u201d in any community in the whole state, and \u00a0we are part of a large and growing statewide network of Pardon Projects<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
