Joseph Project Takes Center Stage

Kushner and Johnson at Joseph Project

On January 14, Senator Johnson hosted Special Advisor to the President Jared Kushner and Deputy Assistant to the President Ja'Ron Smith in Milwaukee for a roundtable featuring Joseph Project participants. A packed house learned more about the Joseph Project and got to meet those folks working to turn their lives around thanks to criminal justice reforms like the First Step Act.

"All of your stories are amazing," Kusher said. "Thank you for pushing. Thank you for fighting."

First Step Act Participants Join Joseph Project

First Step Act Participants

The First Step Act was passed last year and marks a significant shift in criminal justice reform. The bipartisan legislation was championed by Jared Kushner and supported by Senator Johnson. The First Step Act helps returning citizens from federal prisons. Our Joseph Project classes are starting to see many participants who are using this program to turn their lives around.
