SUMMARY:Barriers to Bridges: Clean Slate Laws & Public Health
DESCRIPTION:Barriers to Bridges: Clean Slate Laws & Public Health\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time\nApr 10\, 2025 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)\n\n\nDescription\nApril is Second Chance Month and April 7-13\, 2025\, is National Public Health Week\, the perfect time to explore how “clean slate” laws promote health\, economic stability\, and racial equity. Criminal records create lasting barriers to employment\, housing\, and healthcare—key social determinants of health. A Clean Slate law\, which automates record sealing as soon as someone is eligible\, is a powerful tool for reducing inequities and strengthening communities. Join us for a 60-minute webinar where we’ll discuss: A. How criminal offender record information (CORIs) impacts health and well-being; B. Why so few people who are eligible have sealed records; C. The status of clean slate legislation in Massachusetts; D. Why more and more employers support clean slate laws; and E. How you can take action to support these reforms.\n\n—— NOTE: We are committed to providing interpretation\, translation\, and other accommodations to make our events as accessible as possible. Please submit requests by April 1\, 2025\, to KWaldner@PublicHealthWM.org or 413-794-2897. We will do our best to fulfill any requests we receive. Advance notice will help us to provide seamless access.\n\nComprometemos proporcionarle servicios de interpretación\, traducción y otras adaptaciones para que nuestros eventos sean lo más accesibles posible. Envíe su solicitud antes del 1 de abril a KWaldner@PublicHealthWM.org o llamando al 413-794-2897. Haremos todo lo posible para cumplir con cualquier solicitud que recibamos. El aviso previo nos ayudará a proporcionarle acceso sin interrupción.
