FACTOID OF THE DAY: North Carolina courts hand down ~100,000 convictions a year—but fewer than 2,000 North Carolinians have had convictions expunged since 2011 when the law changed to allow first-time misdemeanors & felonies to be cleared.
That’s why I’m excited to be in Raleigh today with @Forward_Justice @ncjustice & some of my @TalkPoverty colleagues for #2019NCSecondChanceLobbyDay! #IAmForSecondChances #ncpol
North Carolina’s Second Chance Act would significantly expand eligibility for record-clearing—and importantly, streamline & begin automating the process so more people can successfully clear their records & move on with their lives. #CleanSlate #IAmForSecondChances #ncpol
Today @amprog & @TalkPoverty are proud to join state & national leaders from left & right, the business, faith & law enforcement communities, and hundreds of people directly affected by the criminal justice system at NC’s Capitol to say #IAmForSecondChances #ncpol
