CoRA is a New York State coalition of advocates working to change laws, policies, and practices to eliminate the perpetual punishment that flows from involvement with the criminal legal system. We seek to eradicate all civil barriers to ensure that people who have had contact with the criminal legal system have a fair chance to succeed as full community members. In support of this goal, CoRA’s members and partners regularly convene to exchange ideas, hone skills, and build a more just society for all.
