About The Clean Slate Initiative

Founded in 2019, the Clean Slate Initiative (CSI) passes and implements laws that automatically clear eligible records for people who have completed their sentence and remained crime-free and expands who is eligible for clearance.

The Clean Slate Initiative’s vision is that people will no longer be defined by their records and will have the opportunity to contribute to their community, have a fair opportunity to work, get an education, and achieve their full potential. The Clean Slate Initiative passes and implements laws that automatically clear eligible records for people who have completed their sentence and remained crime-free and expand who is eligible for clearance. To date, twelve states have passed Clean Slate laws impacting more than 15 million people. The Clean State Initiative works with bipartisan leaders and organizations. It offers our expertise on what works: intelligent policy design, an eye toward implementation, and campaign strategies that center on lived experience. Along the way, we work to redefine the narrative around people with records, cutting through the bias and stigma to reorient the legal system to live up to the ideals of second chances.
