Clean Slate Replay 2025: Nationwide Action

Real change starts with directly impacted voices.

During the Clean Slate week of Action, constituents met directly with Members of Congress and district staff across 10 states, sharing firsthand experiences and making clear what’s at stake when opportunity is delayed.

20 meetings. 10 states. One message: it’s time to pass the Clean Slate Act.

Learn more about our nationwide action in the 2025 Annual Report: https://www.cleanslateinitiative.org/documents/2025-annual-report

We’re proud to share what some of them had to say in our 2025 Annual Report, including these testimonials from Akua Amaning at Center for American Progress, Maha Jweied at Responsible Business Initiative for Justice, Jillian Snider of R Street Institute, and Patrick Purtill at Unify.US.
