BOSTON WORKERS ALLIANCE
"Successes and Compromises in the Struggle to Reform CORI"

After years of organizing and community efforts the CORI reform bill has
made another big step and passed the house. There is great joy and
apprehension about the bill. There are successes such as banning the box
that asks about convictions on applications and there are setbacks
such as no sentencing reform and still too long to seal records. We will
discuss the process and next steps of CORI reform and reflect on
the double edged sword of legislative action. The Boston Workers Alliance is
a member run organization that works with people impacted by CORI and other
unemployed workers.
