Demand the U.S.A to STOP Race, Color, National Origins Discrimination.

    After being convicted of a felony and serving your time, finding employment is almost impossible. Many felons try to learn from their mistakes and move forward to create a better life for themselves and their families.
    But when applying anywhere even McDonalds, they are often judged and turned away due to the felony on their record. Only if they spend thousands of dollars and give up years of their life for the felony to be dropped to a misdemeanor are they able to find employment. For most it is a day late and a dollar short, because they have resorted to crime again to provide for themselves and their families. These people need to have a way to honestly provide for themselves and their families, but who will help them catch a break?
    Many felons are convicted and once they serve time society asks that they find employment and become reintegrated into society. Sounds good, right? Sounds good on court dockets and for media spots but when it all boils down to it many organizations do not want to hire convicted felons. There's a place on every organization's application within the United States that asks the applicants if they are convicted felons, when that block is checked, and an explanation is given their application is almost always passed over.
