WE HELP RESTORE RETURNING CITIZENS

FRRC is committed to ending the disenfranchisement and discrimination against people with convictions.

OUR POLICY PLATFORM

FRRC’s platform is informed by the lived experiences of returning citizens from all walks of life, political persuasions, and regions of the state. Nearly 7,000 returning citizens filled out FRRC surveys, outlining the priorities and values of Florida’s returning citizen community.

PEACE ORLANDO

Community Violence Intervention

In November 2022, FRRC launched a Community Violence Intervention (CVI) initiative called Peace Orlando. CVI is a proven community-based gun violence reduction strategy that is backed by extensive research and is endorsed by the U.S. Department of Justice as one of the most effective means of reducing violence.

BAIL FUND | LEGAL DEFENSE FUND

For many returning citizens, voting is a step in a restorative journey. The state of Florida led many of these citizens to believe that they could exercise their right to vote, and then it arrested, jailed and charged them in front of their friends, families and neighbors. Voter integrity starts at the front end of our election process. We’ve created Bail and Legal Defense Funds to help financially challenged returning citizens who’ve been unjustly arrested for voting.
