We amplify their voices through policy advocacy, public awareness campaigns, and by supporting candidates and organizations that align with our mission. Our vision is a society where every person re-entering society receives the support and resources necessary to rebuild their lives and thrive. Key activities include championing policies that provide comprehensive services, conducting public awareness campaigns, educating voters on critical issues, organizing grassroots mobilization efforts, endorsing and supporting aligned candidates, and lobbying for policies that promote long-term stability and self-sufficiency. In 2024, Starting Over Strong used grant funding to carry out advocacy, civic engagement, and community education activities. Our work included issuing public recommendations on statewide ballot measures, publishing an opinion piece endorsing a candidate for county office, and supporting volunteer phonebank outreach to educate voters. We also continued strengthening organizational infrastructure and strategy to support this advocacy.
