At 65 Court St, Buffalo NY (also at various sites statewide).

Join us this Thursday as we lift up the Clean Slate Act.

Speakers include representatives from:
– Free the People WNY
– Partnership for the Public Good
– Citizen Action WNY
– Evergreen Health
– VOCAL-NY

Sample Tweet 
I am calling on @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie to support the Clean Slate Act to end perpetual punishment and address the legacy of mass incarceration. 2.3 million New Yorkers have a conviction record and face barriers to jobs, housing and education.
