Senator Cordell Cleare Clean Slate Panel And NYCHA Housing Symposium

November 12, 2024

Senator Cordell Cleare will be hosting a Clean Slate Panel & Free Clinic at Harlem’s City College, on November 16th, 2024.

The day-long event will feature a panel, presentations, and service organizations that can review Clean Slate eligibility right on the spot.  

Panelists: Senator Cleare, Senator Zellnor Myrie, D.A. Alvin Bragg, Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs,  and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, to discuss the importance of the Clean Slate Act and its social, and economic benefits.

The organizations tabling include The Community Service Society, the Office of the Comptroller, National Urban League, PA’LANTE HARLEM, CUNY, Fordham University, and other community partners assisting with housing, financial, legal issues, and more.

This all-day event is to announce that the Clean Slate Act will finally “go live,” by November 16th, 2024.

This Landmark Legislation will ensure that individuals who have criminal records may have them sealed after a certain time frame, enabling a literal “clean slate” that will allow individuals to grow socially, economically, civically, and professionally.

The goal of this event is to support growth and rehabilitation, not perpetual punishment.
