Kim Kardashian Joins Vice President Kamala Harris at White House for Criminal Justice Reform Discussion

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian made a visit to the White House to discuss criminal justice reform with Vice President Kamala Harris. The roundtable discussion focused on pardons issued by President Joe Biden, with Kardashian advocating for second chances for those who have been incarcerated.

The event included individuals who had been pardoned by President Biden the day before, sharing their experiences with the justice system and how they have been able to start businesses or non-profits in their communities after their release. Vice President Harris expressed her belief in the power of redemption and the importance of providing support for individuals to earn their way back into society.

Kardashian, who has been a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform, thanked Harris for her dedication to second chances and expressed her excitement to hear the stories of the pardon recipients. The event also saw the announcement of a new rule removing restrictions on loans through the Small Business Administration based on a person’s criminal record.

Kardashian’s advocacy has been credited with influencing former President Donald Trump to consider criminal justice reform, leading to the passage of the First Step Act in 2018. Her visit to the White House comes during “Second Chance Month,” as President Biden reaffirms his commitment to building a fair criminal justice system.

Overall, the roundtable discussion highlighted the importance of providing opportunities for individuals to reintegrate into society after incarceration and the impact of personal stories in raising awareness about the challenges faced by those in the criminal justice system.
