Destiny Garcia, executive director of Clean Slate Utah, joined other advocates and a bipartisan group of co-sponsors to highlight the economic and community safety benefits of two commonsense criminal justice reforms advancing through Congress.

Directly impacted leaders of the Clean Slate movement share their thoughts on the importance of ensuring that everyone has a shot at redemption and the chance to better the lives of themselves and their families.

Today, 2.3 million New Yorkers are prevented by current law from accessing employment, housing, education, and other basic life essentials that would allow them to thrive. Despite having served their sentences and returned to their communities, they live in a state of perpetual punishment.

A past arrest or conviction record should not be a life sentence to poverty and hopelessness. One in three adults in America today have some kind of past record that is a barrier to jobs, housing, and/or other avenues to economic mobility.

Clean Slate is about second chances. Now that the Clean Slate bills have passed in Delaware, we're focused on helping the 290,000 people living with a Delaware record access the second chance they're entitled to through SB 111 and SB 112.
