Welcome to the Expunge Assist Wiki!

Project Definition

Expunge Assist aims to help people in California with arrest and conviction histories clean their criminal record.

Introduction to the Project

What is Expunge Assist?

Expunge Assist (formerly known as The Record Clearance Project) initially was created to respond to clean slate legislation, such as Prop 47 and Prop 64, which paved the way for clearing cannabis and other non-violent and non-serious convictions.

Expunge Assist builds digital tools that address government and non-profit partner needs in a changing legal and criminal justice landscape.

Why do it?

Clearing your record can help remove barriers to getting a job, housing, and educational opportunities. Most misdemeanors and felonies are now eligible for expungement. Our goal is to make that process for Californians easier.
