Love it #BantheBox
As an HR Hiring Leader, I support this message! Ban the Box!
Now remove the felon question off job applications immediately!! The public deserves the same treatment to have their vote back and an opportunity for employment with dignity!

It is time for the landlord gravy-train to come to an end.
#housing is a human right, not a risk to be assessed and mitigated.
Next week I will be attending a tenants union meeting to push the idea of a local ballot initiative to ban tenant screenings.

We should ban all background checks.
If it's not justified for POTUS it shouldn't be permitted for any job.
