Background
All Square, a civil rights nonprofit social enterprise, is searching for justice-impacted men and women who seek a springboard to achieving their personal and professional goals. We are looking for talented individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset who are experiencing everyday challenges in attaining goals due to having a record. We recognize that people who have endured hardship, systemic racism and justice involvement may experience significant trauma and chronic stress - we embrace you; come as you are! This is a tremendous opportunity for individuals who are ready to make a deep investment in their journey.
Our Values
Second Chances and Reparations.
We believe that all individuals deserve to be judged on their merit and not their mistakes. Additionally, we believe that meaningful reparations for communities who have been disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system are of the utmost importance.
Black Lives Matter.
Personal and Systems Accountability.
Lasting criminal justice reform can surface only if the conversation is centered on personal accountability AND systems accountability, i.e., the systematic ills that stem from racism and oppression--including cash bail, disparate sentencing regimes, prosecutorial discretion, unconstitutional arrest practices, the criminalization of drugs and drug-related crimes, and a myriad of other regimes that have created mass incarceration.
