Over 2.3 million New Yorkers have a conviction record and face barriers to housing, education and employment. I am calling on my legislators [find their handles here] to support #CleanSlateNY legislation and put an end to perpetual punishment.

Post #3

MUST READ: Op-ed from @CCA_NY leader Melinda Agnew. “I have been turned away from jobs, denied promotions and rejected from housing programs because of my two-decade old record.” That’s why we’re fighting for #CleanSlateNY.

Post #4

Marijuana legalization includes automatic expungement of marijuana convictions. It’s time to expand that and address the harm of decades of mass incarceration. We need #CleanSlateNY. Take action: www.cleanslateny.org/take-action
