Daryl Atkinson

Second Chance Month is a time to advocate to put ‘just’ back into the justice system. Daryl Atkinson, Co-Director of Forward Justice, uses his own experience with the legal system to advocate for racial, social, and economic justice. Prior to joining Forward Justice, Daryl was the first Second Chance Fellow for the U.S Department of Justice where he used his voice to advocate for change in the justice system after his own experience with the barriers of having a record.

Daryl’s diligence and perseverance throughout his life and advocacy work  illuminates the importance of ensuring that everyone has fair access to a #SecondChance to achieve their goals.
