Target: Michigan State Legislature, Michigan media outlets
Goal: Urge Michigan lawmakers and media outlets to protect and expand Clean Slate laws, ensuring that everyone who has paid their debt to society has a real chance at redemption and a better future.
Michigan’s Clean Slate law was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, helping over 900,000 residents seal their criminal records after years of leading a law-abiding life. This law opens doors to jobs, housing, and education, reducing recidivism and strengthening communities. Recent attempts to blame Clean Slate for isolated incidents are misleading and threaten to roll back hard-won progress.
Clean Slate is about people, not politics. It recognizes that everyone deserves a second chance after making amends. We call on lawmakers and media organizations to defend this vital reform, reject fearmongering, and support policies that foster opportunity and redemption.
Key Demands
- Publicly reaffirm support for Michigan’s Clean Slate law and its bipartisan origins.
- Reject efforts to politicize or roll back Clean Slate reforms based on isolated incidents.
- Expand eligibility for record sealing to cover more non-violent offenses and reduce waiting periods.
- Invest in outreach and support services to help eligible individuals access Clean Slate relief.
- Encourage media outlets to report accurately and fairly on the impact of Clean Slate laws.
