Hip-hop superstars Jay-Z and Meek Mill have teamed up with political commentator Van Jones in addition to a handful of professional sports team owners to launch a new initiative based on criminal justice reform. Announced at a press conference at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City on Wednesday, the newly-established Reform Alliance also includes New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai, Third Point Management CEO Daniel Loeb, Galaxy Digital CEO Michael E. Novogratz, and Vista Equity Partners CEO Robert F. Smith. All the above-mentioned partners have put their wallets on the table with total group investment reaching $50 million in hopes of fixing America’s completely biased and flawed justice system.
The first part of the initiative will be to help the 4.5 million Americans around the country who are currently on parole or probation. The partnership will not use the money to bail anyone out, so to speak, but rather to help amplify the messages of more-established criminal justice reform groups who have spent decades working on the same initiatives. The Alliance hopes to use their popular influence and resources to dismantle any kind of existing laws which are keeping folks trapped in a revolving door system filled with arbitrary violations.
