Who Are We?

M.O.V.E. is an organization comprised of and primarily for Persons With Felony Convictions (PWFCs) and their families so they can help themselves by exercising collective bargaining power, form a voting block, promote a legislative agenda, and to provide financial assistance to its membership.

What Is Our Mission?

The members of M.O.V.E. envision an environment where P.W.F.C.'s can be fully reintegrated and contributing to society with dignity. To accomplish this, M.O.V.E,’s mission will include taking advantage of opportunities to advocate on behalf of its membership, formulating and proposing a legislative agenda that benefits its membership, maintaining the means for the organization to be financially self-supporting, and to allow for an inviting and caring opportunity for its membership to engage in social healing.

What Do We Do?

  • M.O.V.E. is currently working with legislators to change the law to expunge qualified criminal records and to significantly limit non-enforcement agencies from accessing criminal records.
  • M.O.V.E. is working with social agencies to provide G.E.D. readiness training.
  • M.O.V.E. is working with local government and social agencies to provide one-on-one and group mentoring for young people, and for currently-incarcerated, and recently-released individuals.
  • M.O.V.E. offers a weekly group rap session as a forum for members and their guests to discuss relevant socio-economic and other issues affecting P.W.F.C.'s and their families.
