On Public Safety, Personal Responsibility, and Limited Government
Clean Slate policies aim to reduce the barriers people face by automatically clearing records and expanding eligibility. For people who have served their time and have remained crime-free for a specific number of years, Clean Slate policies offer a meaningful second chance. Automated record clearance bolsters redemptive policy priorities like promoting public safety, fostering family values, and advancing limited, effective government.
Why Clean Slate policies are good for the economy
The Clean Slate Initiative works to ensure that everyone in America should have a fair opportunity to work, have a safe home, take care of their families, and contribute to their community.
To do so, we bring together businesses, labor and faith leaders, community members, and impacted people across the country to ensure that conviction and non-conviction records are no longer a life sentence to poverty, and past mistakes will no longer define people's futures.
