Alabama Non Violent Offenders Organization (ANVOO)
ANVOO started after one of the founders undertook the process of having his criminal record expunged in Connecticut and discovered that it was a complicated and often costly process. He realized that other non-violent felons would face the same obstacles and decided to start an organization that informs non-violent felons how to apply on their own to achieve the restoration of their voting rights, pardons, and expungement of their records. In 2008, the founders began meeting with religious and community organization leaders in the Huntsville area to discuss the idea and its potential to serve as a viable non-profit organization. After receiving positive feedback, the founders decided to start ANVOO as a non-profit, charitable corporation in the state of Alabama, achieving incorporation on February 23, 2009. ANVOO formed a board of directors consisting of community activists and those with specific experience working with felons and non-profit charitable organizations.
