🌟 J.P. Morgan Chase provides $500K grant launching new Fair Chance Collaborative led Valley of the Sun United Way in City of Phoenix!One in three U.S. adults—more than 70 million people—have some type of arrest or criminal record. To put this in perspective, about the same number of Americans have college degrees right now.Unfortunately, these Americans, who were incarcerated or have a conviction on their record, are essentially unable to secure good jobs in this country. Nearly half of formerly incarcerated people are unemployed one year after leaving prison. This unique collaborative aims to address the this multi-dimensional challenges faced by these individuals who are now seeking employment and stability in the Phoenix metro with a comprehensive approach—coordinating job training, placement, housing assistance, healthcare access, financial counseling and more—to improve outcomes.As a leader committed to inclusive economic growth opportunity and addressing our community's workforce development challenges, is proud to support this coalition bringing together social services, education, employers, economic development organizations, and top community leaders. By convening the right leaders and organizations to provide coordinated support, we can eliminate barriers that would otherwise silo efforts and ensure that more people in Phoenix will get a fair chance to rejoin the workforce and fully contribute to their families and the local economy. I'm proud to represent our firm on the VSUW board and to be a part of this vital effort.#FairChance #Reentry #SecondChance #WorkforceDevelopment #JPMorgan #CommunityInvestment #SocialImpact #JPMC #JPMorganChase #Chase #VSUWCarla Melissa Bertha Todd Jennifer Chris Neil Deanna Noreen Keri Kristin Ben Alison Monica Tucker Maura Charlie Ben David Latasha Jenny Drena Chad Elissa Mary Owen Mambu Doran Angela Angela Marie Sara Ann Brian Leia

What an AMAZING day! I could not be more excited about this announcement, and to be part of the Fair Chance Collaborative in Arizona. This initiative resonates deeply with our core values at Arouet, where we believe in second chances and the power of collective impact! This is an incredible opportunity for Arizona to rewrite our reentry story, and build an ecosystem and pipeline that will ensure we build a dynamic Fair Chance workforce, which has an array of products, services and support to help them be successful! This is the beginning of something huge and we are so thrilled about it! One in three U.S. adults—that’s more than 70 million people—carry the weight of an arrest or criminal record. These individuals face immense challenges when seeking employment and stability. But today, we’re changing the narrative.👏The Fair Chance Collaborative is more than a program; it’s a lifeline. It’s coordinating job training, housing assistance, healthcare access, financial counseling, and more. It’s about holistic transformation, breaking down barriers, and creating pathways to opportunity. Thank YOU for your commitment to inclusive economic growth. Their $500,000 grant fuels this collaborative engine, and together, we’ll ensure that more people in Phoenix get a fair chance to rejoin the workforce and contribute fully to their families and our local economy. And thank you to United Way for offering to take on the work of this incredibly important initiative.As a member of the VSUW Workforce Taskforce I am honored to stand alongside top community leaders, employers, and educators. Let’s rewrite the story—one fair chance at a time. I cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get to work! #FairChance #Reentry #WorkforceDevelopment #CommunityInvestment #SocialImpact #JPMC #JPMorganChase #Chase #VSUW United Way Arouet

This post sheds light on a crucial issue, highlighting the ongoing struggles Black Americans face in accessing financial services and the long-standing inequities they’ve endured. It’s commendable to see initiatives like the partnership between JPMorgan Chase and Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) aiming to address this crisis and contribute to closing the #racialwealthgap.While such partnerships are a step in the right direction, the question brings attention to a poignant reality. The cannabis industry, where Black Americans have faced disproportionate impact due to the war on drugs, presents a unique opportunity for companies to provide meaningful support. These individuals, twice hit by the repercussions of historical injustices, often find themselves told to bootstrap businesses while living in poverty and lacking access to funds.Your call for unwavering support resonates deeply. Empowering Black and brown communities in the cannabis industry is not just a business opportunity; it’s a chance to right historical wrongs, uplift families, and heal communities. The persecutions faced by these individuals demand a proactive commitment from companies to contribute to generational sustainable wealth.As we applaud initiatives like the JPMorgan Chase partnership, it’s essential to expand these efforts into the cannabis space. Companies must recognize the potential impact they can have in fostering true inclusivity and economic empowerment. Let’s advocate for a comprehensive approach that ensures everyone, especially those disproportionately affected, has equal opportunities to thrive and build a better future.
