We Believe in Second chances

A criminal record should not be a life sentence to unemployment, poverty, or exclusion. Every person deserves the opportunity to work, support their family, contribute to their community, and move forward with their life.

Fair-chance hiring practices recognize that people are more than their past mistakes. Expungement and Clean Slate laws help remove unnecessary barriers to employment, allowing people who have earned a second chance to access meaningful opportunities and build a better future.

When employers commit to fair-chance hiring and support policies that expand access to expungement and record clearance, they help strengthen families, grow the workforce, reduce barriers to economic mobility, and build safer, more inclusive communities.

By signing on, you are affirming that a criminal record should not automatically define a person's future. You are standing for opportunity, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves a fair chance to move forward.
