“Ban the Box” Employment Application Reform
In an effort to reduce barriers that prevent community members from finding work here in Virginia, “Ban-the-Box” removes/defers the question about an individual’s criminal history from the initial employment application.
B-T-B passed in other Virginia local Municipalities: Newport News, City of Richmond, Norfolk, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Petersburg & Fredericksburg!
Let’s go Danville and all other local Municipalities/City agencies throughout VA.
