Expungement as a Pathway to a Fresh Start

Friday, March 27
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

A fresh start should be possible for everyone.

If your record is holding you back, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.

Maybe you’ve done the work: you’ve shown up for your family, stayed consistent, and tried to move forward. But a background check can pull you right back into the past. This event is built for the people who are ready to reclaim their story—and for the community members who want to help make that possible.

You’ll walk away with clearer next steps, encouragement, and practical guidance on expungement as a pathway to a fresh start.

Understand what expungement can mean for employment, housing, and peace of mind
Learn how policy and real-world practice connect—and where people get stuck
Hear hope-filled, practical perspectives that honor lived experience
