Since the passage of the First Step Act in December, I’ve been speaking with people coming home from prison and learning about the challenges they are facing. While I have been able to offer support to some of the individuals I have met, the obstacles to success are an everyday struggle for thousands and more needs to be done. I’m honored to be a part of the announcement that the administration and the private sector are stepping up to create opportunities for these men and women to succeed once home. Proud to partner on this initiative with Lyft, a company with a history of taking bold action to do what’s right for our community. Thank you for providing ride share credits to formally incarcerated people when they come home.
— Reality TV star turned legal apprentice Kim Kardashian West, who made an unexpected appearance at the White House yesterday, announcing a new ride-share program with Lyft that will provide former federal inmates with the means to get back into the workforce with ride credits that will help them get to job interviews, to work, and to visit family once they are released from prison.
