Community Convening & Social Justice

The Urban League’s Community Convening and Social Justice (CCSJ) Department focuses on fighting for social justice and highlighting the racial inequalities in the black and brown communities related to social mobility and economic empowerment. Our work focuses on Voter Education and Mobilization, Criminal Justice Reform, Police Reform, and Inclusive Economic Development.

Expungement Expo

According to Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform, an estimated 94% of people eligible for expungement have not been able to access the service due to a lack of knowledge about the process, lack of resources to hire an attorney, and more. The goal of the Expungement Expo is to help clients, who are predominantly African American, move beyond the challenges of having a past criminal record by educating and assisting them with getting their records expunged. It is vital to help justice-involved individuals understand current and new policies in order to assist them in this process.
