This year’s theme is “Civic Action for Justice” and focuses on the
criminal justice system and automatic record clearance as a path to
remove barriers to employment, housing, and education for
justice-impacted people. Importantly, NDoCH (Sept 21) coincides with
National Expungement Week
(N.E.W.) -- where dozens of local organizations across the country that
work in the record clearance space will be organizing together to draw
attention to this issue and provide relief to people impacted by the
criminal justice system. This is an important opportunity to build
partnerships with those who have been doing this work for a long time,
support and add value to those efforts in unique ways, and amplify the
stories and voices of those most impacted by this issue.
