TELL ILLINOIS LAWMAKERS TO PASS THE CLEAN SLATE ACT
Over 2.2 million people with arrest and conviction records in Illinois are eligible for sealing or expungement. However, due to inaccessible fines, long backlogs, and burdensome petition processes, only 10% of eligible Illinoisans have started the process. This leaves 90% of eligible Illinoisans in a "Second Chance Gap" where they face permanent barriers to housing, employment, education, and more. Help us unlock the door to opportunity in Illinois by supporting the Clean Slate Act.
Implementing the Clean Slate Act will create an automated process to seal or expunge hundreds of thousands of already eligible records. This will give impacted residents the opportunity for genuine second chances, allowing them to actively contribute to our state's economy, and introduce a new pool of talent to the Illinois workforce.
We are fighting for Clean Slate to ensure Illinois residents can access real second chances. Please help us pass The Clean Slate Act by taking 30 seconds to send a prewritten message to legislators asking for their support.
