It's Time to Ban the Box

Act Now

The Workforce Opportunity Act would remove questions about criminal history from state job applications. Removing these questions from applications, or "banning the box," means employers can evaluate candidates for jobs based on their qualifications rather than prior criminal history.

Removing questions about prior convictions on state job applications is an important first step in creating employment opportunities for individuals who have paid their debts to society.

Tell your Senator to expand employment opportunities in South Carolina and vote YES on the Workforce Opportunity Act.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
