Supporting Expungements Today.
Building Clean Slate for tomorrow.
Thank you for joining us!
The Clean Slate Initiative is committed to passing and implementing automated record sealing across the country and in Congress to ensure people have access to the second chance they’ve earned.
Until Clean Slate — automated record sealing — is available to people with eligible records, too many people are left waiting.
That’s why we’re funding expungement efforts throughout the country — to end the wait, and lift the weight of old records for people who need record relief in the states where Clean Slate hasn’t yet passed.

Who’s Leading the National Clean Slate Effort?
The Clean Slate Initiative is a bipartisan organization working across the country, and in Congress, to pass and implement Clean Slate laws and expand who is eligible for record sealing.
