Clean Slate Champions: A Community Call for Second Chances

April is Second Chance Month, and The Clean Slate Initiative (CSI) is leading the way in celebrating the transformative power of second chances. By sealing the past, we’re unlocking new doors to opportunity through Clean Slate legislation — and we want YOU to be part of this effort!

‍

Join us for a special community call where we’ll bring together the Clean Slate network to share powerful insights on the impact of Clean Slate policies at both the state and federal levels. Whether you’re active in this work, directly impacted by this issue, or a supporter of Clean Slate, we want you there — this is your chance to connect, learn, and help build momentum so we can all play a role in advancing second chances.
