How The Clean Slate Initiative Helps Formerly Incarcerated People

This organization works to combat the barriers that formerly incarcerated people face by advocating for policies that automatically clear arrest and conviction records for eligible people. Automatic record clearance has proven to be helpful for many formerly incarcerated people because many do not know they are eligible to apply for expungement. And if they know they are eligible to have their record cleared, the time and resources to do so may prove to be cumbersome.
