Take action today to help eliminate the stigma of arrest and conviction records, and provide people with a fair shot at redemption.
Use this page to contact your members of Congress or add your voice to the conversation on why we need to shift the narrative about people with past arrest or conviction records. We need you to take action today!
In the past two Congresses, lawmakers have introduced bipartisan Clean Slate legislation that would:
Create the first-ever process for sealing a federal arrest or conviction record,
Automatically seal federal simple possession or nonviolent records involving marijuana, and
Create a federal grant program enabling states to apply for federal funds to implement Clean Slate laws.
But Congress hasn’t gotten those bills across the finish line.
Take action today and urge your members of Congress to prioritize federal Clean Slate legislation in 2025 and support states that have led the charge in cutting red tape and streamlining the record-sealing process.
