Where Do I Go? (Fair Chance Act Music Video) Feat. UnLearn The World, Jane Handcock Brookfield Deuce

A cultural collaboration between Hip Hop For Change Inc. and Just Cities to help raise awareness regarding the Fair Chance Act, a new law that prevents landlords and employers from inquiring as to an applicants previous conviction history. The Fair Chance Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2018, is a California law that aims to reduce undue barriers to employment for individuals with criminal histories. This law generally prohibits employers with five or more employees from asking a job candidate about conviction history before making a job offer, among other requirements. This type of law is also known as a “Ban the Box” law. The law generally prohibits employers from: Including on a job application, any questions about conviction history before a conditional job offer has been made Asking about or considering your criminal history before a conditional job offer has been made Considering information about arrests not followed by conviction, participation in pretrial or posttrial diversion programs, or convictions that have been sealed, dismissed, expunged, or statutorily eradicated Including on a job application that a criminal history would disqualify one from employment prior to application Considering, distributing, or disseminating information about your referral to or participating in a pretrial or post-trial diversion program Not making an individualized assessment considering the nature and gravity of the conduct, the time passed, and the nature of the job held or sought Not explaining your right to submit evidence challenging the conviction history report, mitigating circumstances, or circumstances regarding your rehabilitation Not notifying you in writing of your right to file a complaint with DFEH After making a job offer, employers are allowed to conduct a criminal history check. But under the law, employers cannot take back a job offer based on an applicant’s criminal history without going through a process that includes: Making an individualized assessment that justifies denying the applicant the position; Notifying the applicant in writing of a preliminary decision to take back the offer; Giving the applicant a chance to provide additional information; and Notifying the applicant in writing of a final decision to take back the offer and informing the applicant of the right to complain to DFEH. "Where Do I Go" features Bay Area-based Hip Hop artists UnLearn The World and Jane Handcock and Brookfield Duece of the Grand Nationxl collective. The music video was shot in Oakland, California by Landry Gapangwa.
