She was in Washington to discuss her ride share partnership with Lyft – transportation network company based in San Francisco, California – to give credit to recently released prisoners in order to help them get to and from job interviews.
“Today, I’m honored to be a part of the announcement that the administration and the private sector are stepping up to create opportunities for these men and women to succeed once home,” she wrote on Twitter. “Proud to partner on this initiative with @Lyft, a company with a history of taking bold action to do what’s right for our community.”
Kardashian West has become a regular at the White House. Notably last year she persuaded the president to to pardon 63-year-old grandmother Alice Marie Johnson who was serving a life sentence without parole for drug offences.

She has continued to show passion for the law and is determined to create opportunities for those coming home from prison, writing on Twitter:
“While I have been able to offer support to some of the individuals I have met, the obstacles to success are an everyday struggle for thousands and more needs to be done.”
