The Clean Slate Initiative (CSI) is a bipartisan nonprofit organization working across the United States, and in Congress, to pass and implement laws that automate the sealing of eligible arrest and conviction records for people who have completed their sentence and remained crime-free, and to expand who is eligible for record sealing.

## What Is the Clean Slate Initiative?

The Clean Slate Initiative is a national advocacy organization that campaigns for automated record sealing — commonly called "Clean Slate" legislation — at the state and federal level. CSI is explicitly bipartisan, working with legislators and coalitions across party lines.

CSI traces its roots to 2018, when Pennsylvania passed the country's first Clean Slate law and 25 bipartisan organizations formed the Clean Slate Campaign to spread the model nationally. The initiative hired its first professional staff in 2020, selecting Sheena Meade — who has personal experience navigating the consequences of an old arrest record — as CEO. In 2023, CSI became part of the Audacious Project cohort, securing a $75 million commitment to advance second chances across the country.

## The Problem: Records Create Lifelong Barriers

One in three adults in the United States has an arrest or conviction record. Even after completing a sentence and paying their debt to society, millions face ongoing, systemic barriers:

- **94%** of employers use background checks to screen out applicants with records
- **90%** of landlords use background checks to screen out applicants with records
- **72%** of colleges and universities use background checks to screen out applicants with records

Every U.S. state has a petition-based process for sealing eligible records, but these processes are often complex, costly, and time-consuming — deterring millions of people who are eligible under existing expungement laws from ever pursuing relief. These barriers don't just harm individuals; they create ripple effects on families, weaken communities, and hinder economic growth and workforce participation.

## The Solution: Automated Record Sealing (Clean Slate Laws)

Clean Slate legislation automates the record sealing process. Rather than requiring an individual to navigate courts, hire lawyers, or pay fees, the government system itself identifies elig
