NYAPRS Note: Passage of the Clean Slate Act will be one of NYAPRS major priorities for the coming legislative session. Please see the attached for more information about the bill and an ‘Elders Speak Out’ panel session that will be held on November 2.
Peers, Advocates, and Community Members:
I hope you all are doing well today!
Join us November 2nd from 6-7pm to discuss the generational traumas and consequences New York’s criminal legal system imposes on New Yorkers, and learn what you can do to help break the cycles of perpetual punishment.
Help spread the word and tell all to join the discussion. Attached is the flyer for CSNY Elders Speak Out! Registration Link. To learn more about the Clean Slate Act, please visit www.cleanslateny.org.

Sample Post:
A conviction record should not mean a lifetime of perpetual punishment and blocked employment, housing, and educational opportunities. The time to break the cycles is now – Elders Speak Out! Clean Slate can’t wait! #cleanslateny bit.ly/CSNYEldersSpeak
