We're a Massachusetts coalition working to pass a state law to require that criminal offender record information (CORIs) are automatically sealed as soon as someone is eligible.

On June 24, please join the Clean Slate MA Coalition at the MA State House to show your support for automated sealing of criminal records for those who are eligible. Everyone deserves a second chance! Register at the link below, and learn more at https://www.cleanslatema.org.

An estimated 523,000 (not a typo) people in MA are currently eligible to have their CORIs sealed but a boatload of complex red tape stands in their way, so let's simply automate the system by passing a Clean Slate law THIS SESSION.

Clean Slate works and the data makes it clear. Automated record sealing expands access to work and opportunity.

In America, 1 in 3 adults has an arrest or conviction record. Old records continue to appear on background checks, blocking access to jobs—even years after someone has completed their sentence and remained crime-free.

Today, 94% of employers use background checks, and having a record can cut the chances of a callback or job offer nearly in half. Meanwhile, businesses across the country are struggling to find workers.

This isn’t a niche issue, it’s a workforce reality.

Congrats to Maine for sending this legislation to your Governor! MA is working to follow suit. Onward for !

👏👏👏Many, many thanks to Greater Boston Legal Services & Mass Cultivated for leading a CORI-sealing clinic and to Roxbury Community College for hosting it. Volunteer lawyers helped more than 70 people navigate MA's complicated and slow sealing process. This is why we need a law in MA to AUTOMATE the process. In MA, approx. 523,000 people are ELIGIBLE to seal their records. Do the math--we would need more than 7,000 clinics like the one today to help everyone. Time to automate.

As we celebrate the close of 2025, we’re grateful for every advocate, partner, and legislator who has supported us. We’r...
