Meek Mill & Jay-Z’s REFORM Alliance Leads ‘Landmark’ Resolution w/ UN To Protect ‘Human Rights’ For Those ‘Reentering Society After Incarceration’

Meek Mill and Jay-Z’s REFORM Alliance is making moves!

According to a press release published by The Source, the organization led the way to a historic initiative with the United Nations to protect,

“the human rights of individuals reentering society after incarceration and those under supervision, such as probation or parole.”

The press release adds that the “landmark resolution”:

“provides a framework for governments to create safer, more inclusive communities by offering reentry support, reducing stigma, and promoting economic inclusion. With over 11.5 million people incarcerated globally, this initiative aims to improve reentry processes and help individuals reintegrate successfully.”

REFORM Alliance teamed up with Costa Rica and a coalition of 120 organizations from 49 countries to adopt the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) resolution.

It has been supported by several advocates, including Kim Kardashian who said:

“Too often, people coming out of prison or on supervision are treated as outcasts–their potential overlooked and their humanity ignored. This resolution, sponsored by Costa Rica and a diverse group of countries around the world, is a powerful declaration that no one is disposable and every person deserves human rights and a second chance. I’m proud to support REFORM Alliance and the coalition of advocates as they lead this global effort to ensure governments worldwide enact real change that lifts up those working to rebuild their lives.”
