Week of Action and Awareness

Our Week of Action and Awareness is our signature event. Cities around the country organize and host free events with legal aid to expunge, clear or seal eligible criminal records, and offer access to social resources, and wrap around services that support re-entry.

The Week of Action and Awareness will align with our core values:

Our rest is a form of resistance and reparations. Take this day to recharge, regroup and restore before a week dedicated action.
