#CleanSlate policies let employers tap into an underutilized labor pool. While there may be some hesitancy, research shows that second-chance hiring improves employment retention and reduces recidivism. shrm.org/topics-tools/e…

After her release, Mandi Zapata struggled to find a job to support her family. “I understand that I deserve consequences..but I don’t understand how they expect me to take care of my kids..or responsibilities.” A #record reduces the likelihood of securing work by 50%.
This weekend, #CleanSlate was a conversation topic at “The State of Public Safety Through Healing and Equity” and “Reclaiming our Voices, Building Better Communities.” Record sealing has been shown to improve public safety and build a more equitable community.
Research estimates that 18 million women in the US have a record of some kind. That means millions of women face barriers to employment, safe housing, & education opportunities. That's why we're working to advance #CleanSlate automatic record clearance policies.
Even with 30+ years of corporate practice, Latecia Hill struggled to find employment after release. This is life with a #record, where odds of getting a job interview or offer decrease by 50%. But Hill is changing that narrative by empowering women through reentry efforts.
It's #WomensHistoryMonth! A time when we celebrate the contributions and achievements of women in our society, and also a moment to acknowledge the systemic barriers that prevent many women from reaching their full potential. That's why we're working to advance #SecondChances!

#CleanSlate legislation is shown to reduce #crime, uplift communities, and grow the economy. If you still have concerns, read our Myth-Busting series, where we address misinformation and worries Texans may have about expanding #SecondChances.
In Texas, the current legal system punishes people long after they’ve completed their sentence. #CleanSlate is for people who’ve done “their time, changed their ways, and [are] ready to rejoin society.” Story by: @cbsaustin cbsaustin.com/news/local/adv…
Check out our last newsletter of the year. It includes upcoming #RecordSealing clinics, digital media highlights, and ways to get involved in 2024. #CleanSlate bit.ly/3ROhMHH
#CleanSlate has passed in 12 states, and yet there is a lot of misinformation around #RecordSealing. We’re hoping to provide some context and bust some myths.
Our second installation of #ImpactedVoices shares Sommer Alexander’s story. After her release, Sommer thought she could move forward from her past mistake. However, she soon realized her #record was a life sentence. A #criminal legal record creates lifelong barriers for Texans.
