Jay Jordan

Jay Jordan is the CEO of Alliance for Safety and Justice, overseeing state-based teams and reform advocacy efforts. With broad recognition for his organizing talents, Jay has been instrumental at many community-based organizations in Los Angeles; he was a lead organizer for the Ban the Box Campaign for Los Angeles, co-founder of Faith in Action, and spearheaded the launch of the widely successful anti-graffiti mobile app, Clean Up Stockton. Jay was compelled to create his own non-profit, The First50, that focused on teen diversion and civic engagement because of his experience as a troubled youth who served time in prison. He made history by becoming the first and only formerly incarcerated Field Director for Congressman Jerry McNerney’s successful reelection campaign.
