Criminal Justice Reform

Virgin Unite is working to help reform the US criminal legal system in ways that improve safety and justice in communities - shifting its focus away from punishment, and toward restoring harms, rehabilitation, and successful re-entry.

Ending the Death Penalty

At the heart of what’s wrong with the broken system is the use of the death penalty. Virgin Unite is working to build continued support for ending the death penalty in key states where repeal is plausible, or executions are planned.

Fair Chance Hiring

In addition to ending the death penalty Virgin Unite is focused on fair chance hiring and helping bring it into the mainstream as a business best practice in the US.

Virgin Unite proudly support The LOHM’s Pathways 4 Equity program, through the provision of grants, recruitment of new business partners, and by amplifying successes.

Virgin Unite is actively educating and encouraging Virgin companies and Virgin community members to work with Virgin Unite’s fair chance hiring partner organisations and continue support for those that already have. That work includes:

• Hiring from partner organisation networks

• Sourcing goods or services from partner organizations and businesses; and

• Leveraging successes in comms and speaking engagements to mainstream fair chance hiring as a business best practice
