Down to the Wire! Urge Assembly Speaker to Move and Pass the Clean Slate Bill!


The Clean Slate Act will address the systemic barriers to jobs, housing and education posed by old conviction records by automatically sealing old conviction records once someone has successfully completed their sentence, is not on community supervision and has not incurred any new charges or convictions after three years for misdemeanors and seven years for felonies.

  *   It would be life changing for millions of New Yorkers and could be a key element of our economic recovery.
  *   It would improve community success and safety by allowing all people to access jobs, housing, and other life essentials.
  *   2.3 million New Yorkers have a conviction record, and because of racism in our criminal legal system, these civil consequences disproportionately impact Black and brown New Yorkers and deepen already-existing racial inequalities in civic life.

Call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie: 518-455-3791 (or 718-654-6539) and share/leave the following message:
"I’m (your name) and a registered voter in (your locality) urging you to move and pass the Clean Slate Act (A.6399C)!”

THANK YOU!
