Second Chance Month 2023

Social Media Toolkit

This year marks the seventh consecutive year recognizing April as Second Chance Month.

Ensuring people with an arrest or conviction record have meaningful second chances is important. And in recent years, Clean Slate legislation has emerged as a powerful tool to ensure everyone has a shot at redemption.

The Clean Slate Initiative’s bipartisan endeavor has been successful in passing and implementing laws that automate government record-sealing processes to automatically seal records for those who are eligible.

We need your help to ensure the progress continues.

The Second Chance Month Toolkit offers opportunities for you to support Clean Slate efforts - from your computer, in your community, and alongside advocates from across the country.
