Richard "Razor" Johnson, our founder, embodies the potential for change. After nearly two decades in isolation due to the three-strike law, Richard emerged as a beacon of hope. He transformed his experience into a force for good, actively collaborating with community leaders, organizations, and officials to reduce crime, gang violence, and systemic racism. Through FIGB, Richard is channeling his transformative journey to inspire others, offering them a chance at redemption and a way to give back. His tireless efforts extend from running FIGB to participating in community meetings, speaking engagements, and volunteering as a columnist at Oakland Post for the past 10 years.

We empower formerly incarcerated individuals to voice their opinions through voting, enlightening them about the impact they can make in shaping laws and policies.

FIGB is more than an organization; it's a movement for change. We believe that by empowering formerly incarcerated individuals, we can create a safer, more compassionate society. Join us in our journey to transform lives, prevent violence, and build a stronger community for all.

We kindly request your financial support through a tax-deductible donation to FIGB. We assure you that your support will be used effectively and responsibly to transform lives and create lasting change. Formerly incarcerated individuals are a valuable part of our community, and with your help, we can ensure they have the opportunity to rebuild their lives and become contributing members of society.
