Expressing support for the designation of April 2026 as "Second Chance Month".

Second Chance Month: this resolution supports designating April 2026 to raise awareness about the barriers people with criminal records face and to encourage communities to offer second chances. It notes that millions of Americans have criminal records and that hundreds of thousands return to communities from prison each year. The text highlights automatic collateral consequences that limit employment, education, housing, and access to capital, emphasizes disproportionate effects on communities of color, honors reentry programs like the Second Chance Act, and urges public observances to promote closure and opportunity.
