About
30 million Americans are eligible to have their criminal records cleared — but less than 10% ever do. Why?
Mark Edge sits down with Dr. Sheena Meade, CEO of the Clean Slate Initiative, at the Libertarian National Convention to talk about one of the most overlooked injustices in America: the invisible cage of a permanent record. With 1 in 3 Americans carrying an arrest or conviction, and over $460 billion in lost wages tied to background check barriers, the stakes couldn't be higher.
The Clean Slate Initiative is automating the record-clearance process — no lawyers, no fees, no bureaucratic red tape — for people who are already eligible under existing law and have remained crime-free. They've already opened a pathway for over 18 million people across 13 states and D.C., and are pushing for a federal solution with bipartisan support.
