Join us on The Public Good. This week we're talking with New York State Assembly Member Jon Rivera (representing Assembly District 149) and Assembly Member Catalina Cruz (representing Assembly District 39). Assembly Member Cruz is the primary Assembly sponsor of Clean Slate (A6399B). 

Those with criminal records are often excluded from job opportunities, housing, and other basic needs even after they've served their sentence. Clean Slate (S1553C/A6399B) would automatically clear a New Yorker's conviction record once they become eligible. 

Our guests will discuss what Clean Slate is, and isn't, how it would benefit New Yorkers, and what's next for Clean Slate legislation.
