Federal Clean Slate Legislation Press Conference on Capitol Hill

You’re Invited: Clean Slate & Fresh Start Federal Legislation Press Conference

‍

Join us on Wednesday, April 30, at 9:00 AM at the U.S. Capitol for a public press event announcing the reintroduction of the Clean Slate Act and Fresh Start Act — two bipartisan bills aimed at expanding access to opportunity for millions of Americans with past records. All are welcome to attend.

‍

These bills would automate the sealing of certain low-level federal offenses and support states working to modernize their record-clearing systems. A diverse group of lawmakers, advocates, and directly impacted individuals will speak about how these policies are creating second chances and breaking down barriers to housing, jobs, and education.

‍

Join us to learn more about second chance policies that bridge political divides, lift up unheard voices, and tackle one of the most pressing — and solvable — challenges in our justice system.
