Authored by @evonnemsilva, who leads the criminal justice work at @codeforamerica: a must read about why a Clean Slate approach is the only just way forward.

Here is what was happening outside the White House as President Trump was giving his Rose Garden address and saying he is an “ally of all peaceful protestors.” Peaceful protestors being tear gassed outside of the WH gates. I confirmed because I was teargassed along with them.

This is a powerful speech by @SAKimFoxx. I'm so proud to support her re-election. When we talk about the importance of progressive prosecutors, this is what we mean. When someone with her integrity and experience and love for her community is the DA, it moves us closer to justice

[Evonne @evonnemsilva]

As part of the Clean Slate Initiative, the Clear My Record team at @codeforamerica is thrilled to welcome @sheena_meade as Managing Director of #CleanSlateInitiative to build long-term, sustainable change for communities: https://t.co/ViOa7CgjSy

It’s critical to enact policies that ensure tens of millions of people aren’t shut out of the labor market due to old criminal records. Thank you @amprog @RebeccaVallas @SDietreich9 @arthurrizer @Qwillyleads #DarylAtkinson for today’s discussion on our #SecondChancesResponse.

As part of a major expansion of automatic record clearance, @codeforamerica announced the launch of its new Clear My Record Application and Implementation Blueprint, which is being made available to every county in CA: https://t.co/lQrLtQSmxy #JusticeAtScale

[Jill Habig @jehabig]

This removing barriers of a crim record panel is really touching my ❤️ @evonnemsilva @codeforamerica & @Qwillyleads: we have to stop celebrating policy wins & letting implementation & enforcement die on the vine. Preach folks, I’m just gonna cheer from the back 💃🏻 #EnforceEquity

[Phil Ting @PhilTing]

Inspired by tonight’s @codeforamerica event. Technology can transform the criminal records clearance process & remove barriers to housing/jobs - hope Gov signs my bill, #AB1076, to create an automated process that will help thousands of Californians #NationalDayofCivicHacking

[StateScoop @State_Scoop]

Cook County, Illinois, will implement "Clear My Record" — a tool from @codeforamerica designed to help expunge marijuana convictions @cookcountysao @SAKimFoxx https://t.co/b1WuxXB9w1

[State’s Attorney Kim Foxx @SAKimFoxx]

I recently joined @LeonRogers, @KENDRAGMEDIA & @RadioKingKyle on @WGCI's Morning Show to talk all things marijuana, including the @cookcountysao’s exciting partnership with @codeforamerica to help streamline the conviction relief process.

Check it out 👇🏾

[Evonne @evonnemsilva]

So proud of this work and of the Clear My Record team @codeforamerica

[California State Association of Counties® @CSAC_Counties]

Free for all 58 #CACounties' #DistrictAttorneys to use, @codeforamerica's computer algorithms can analyze #cannabis conviction eligibility for about 10,000 people per minute, instead of requiring county employees to dig through individual records: https://t.co/RDZFGGldum

State’s Attorney Kim Foxx will automatically expunge tens of thousands of convictions involving marijuana possession using Clear My Record technology developed by the nonprofit Code for America. This should be a model for other cities. https://t.co/XfzShT8Ug3

[Collateral Consequences Resource Center @CCRC_Official]

Just one example of @codeforamerica's efforts, and of the incredible potential for progress on this issue.

Shout out to @mei_lan_i, Evonne Silva, and their colleagues.

"“[L]ooking at the impact of the war on drugs, it is... prosecutors who have to be at the table to ensure we’re righting the wrongs of the past.” Kudos to @SAKimFoxx @codeforamerica for streamlining clearing past marijuana convictions. https://t.co/6eebAFUiDB via @ChicagoReporter
