Hi Carol -
I share your passion, and have been talking to our steering committee about the same types of issues. Unfortunately, we don't have much capacity or clout, but we're working on it. I think the workforce in general needs to be more fair, so that the only jobs for ex-offenders are not the same jobs that other low-skilled workers and teenagers are competing for. If unemployment continues to go up, then those with felonies will be marginalized even more easily. This doesn't help the ones who are currently incarcerated....

How about justice for formerly incarcerated women? These women need our help--they are treated poorly in jail-not able to see their children--not receiving education or a chance to learn a trade--many returning to the streets and repeating the cycle of incarceration. We need to help employers, support them so that ex-felons can be hired--justice has to start somewhere!

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.

7. Display ads (graphic banners designed to promote your business) can only live on your own profile page, unless you are an approved sponsor of Sponsor of Smaller Indiana.

Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
