Justice Without Barriers @ Queens Public Library

Webinar Series

The Restorative Record project, led by Timothy McNutt, Matthew Saleh, and Jodi Anderson explored connections that can be drawn from experiences of justice-impacted workers to other marginalized workers and how these experiences relate to broader themes of access to work, equity, and economic development. 

CJEI’s presentation highlighted how current hiring methods tend to shrink talent pools by relying on online applications, traditional résumés, cover letters, criminal background checks, and HR management software that filter out qualified nontraditional candidates, particularly those with criminal records.
