Research estimates that 18 million women in the US have a record of some kind. That means millions of women face barriers to employment, safe housing, & education opportunities.
That's why we're working to advance #CleanSlate automatic record clearance policies.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! A time when we celebrate the contributions and achievements of women in our society, and also a moment to acknowledge the systemic barriers that prevent many women from reaching their full potential. That's why we're working to advance #SecondChances!

One of the most-frequent questions we get about background-friendly hiring involves liability. A new study looking at 5 decades of hiring data has some answers. Take a look!

As Maggie shared: "There is a power when people who have been through some of the hardest things start building together."
