On Saturday, March 19, 2016, OneJustice, in partnership with Jenesse Center Legal Advisory Committee, Alternate Public Defender, Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, Californians for Safety and Justice, ICE out of LA, IMPACT LA, the John M. Langston Bar Association, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Public Defender, Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, A New Way of Life Reentry Project, One LA I.A.F., and other Los Angeles-based community organizations helped give Angelenos a Fresh Start.
At the newly created Fresh Start Legal Clinic, South LA residents completed applications for the Traffic Ticket Amnesty program, which allows individuals with unpaid fines on traffic and non-traffic infraction tickets to get a reduction of up to 80% of the amount owed to the court or collections agency. Clients also filled out applications for Proposition 47, a program that changes low-level crimes from potential felonies to misdemeanors.
