Join the R Street Institute for Coffee, Croissants, and Clean Slate, a casual community conversation about Clean Slate legislation and what it could mean for Maryland residents.
Clean Slate legislation, which came close to passing in Maryland last legislative session and will be up again for consideration come January, would create a process to automatically seal certain eligible criminal records, helping people who have completed their sentences move forward without unnecessary barriers to employment, housing, and other opportunities.
Over coffee and pastries, R Street's Sarah Anderson and the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice's Nicole Banister will discuss what Clean Slate is, how it works, and why it matters for individuals, families, and communities across Montgomery County. The conversation will also explore the potential local impact of the legislation, where things stand in Annapolis, and what residents can expect as lawmakers revisit the issue.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the proposal, and find out how to stay informed or engage with their elected representatives if they'e interested.
No prior knowledge of Clean Slate or criminal justice policy is needed.
Just bring your curiosity and join us for coffee, croissants, and conversation!
