Worked with client to sign and send a letter signed by 34 religious and human rights leaders of varying faiths to members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and urge them to demonstrate their commitment to our First Freedom, and to America's policy of advancing international religious freedom, by attending and participating in the confirmation hearing of the president's nominee for Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom.
The purpose of the letter was to communicate how important it is for members of the committee to urge the administration to set a clear policy course and develop a serious program to promote religious freedom around the world, and that international religous freedom should be a high priority for the United States.

16. Specific lobbying issues
Worked with client to sign a letter signed by a long list of like-minded groups, and urge members of Congress to cosponsor S. 306, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act of 2011. The bill establishes an independent Commission to undertake a comprehensive examination of Americas criminal justice system and to make recommendations for fiscally responsible and effective reforms.
Worked with client to sign a letter signed by a long list of like-minded groups, and express support to House and Senate appropriators for full funding of the Second Chance Act in Fiscal Year 2012. These diverse organizations came together because they represent constituencies working to increase public safety by improving prisoner reentry from prisons, jails, and juvenile facilities across the country. The Second Chance Act, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and was signed into law in April 2008, is a common sense, evidence-based approach to reducing crime and improving public safety. The bill authorizes $165 million for programs that will improve coordination of reentry services and policies at the state, tribal, and local levels, including demonstration grants, reentry courts, family-centered programs, substance abuse treatment, employment, mentoring and other services needed to improve transition from prison and jail to communities and reduce recidivism.
Worked with client to sign a letter signed by a list of like-minded faith-based groups, and suggest to the Attorney General of the United States some ways that the Department of Justice can address the persistent and widespread confusion around the country regarding the voting rights of people with criminal histories. Across the country there is persistent confusion among election and criminal justice officials about their states criminal disenfranchisement policies, which leads to the de facto disenfranchisement of untold hundreds of thousands of eligible would-be voters throughout the country. De facto disenfranchisement has devastating long-term effects in communities across the country and many of those affected are part of our faith communities.
