Criminal Justice Info Session ? Sesión Informativa sobre Justicia Penal
ENGLISH
Join Neighbor to Neighbor Holyoke for a Criminal Justice Information Session where we’ll learn about two important bills at the State House that could change how criminal records impact people’s lives across Massachusetts.
We’ll talk about:
The Clean Slate Bill This bill would automatically seal eligible criminal records after someone completes their sentence and without new offenses — helping remove barriers to jobs, housing, and opportunity.
The Presumption of Innocence Bill This bill would automatically seal charges that did not lead to a conviction, so dismissed or pending cases don’t continue to block people from moving forward.
Come learn, ask questions, and share your thoughts on how these policies affect our communities.
Food, childcare, and interpretation will be provided. Please let us know your needs in the registration form so we can support you.
We’re looking forward to connecting and building power together

Únase a Neighbor to Neighbor Holyoke para una Sesión Informativa sobre Justicia Penal, donde aprenderemos sobre dos proyectos de ley importantes en la Casa Estatal que podrían cambiar cómo los antecedentes penales afectan la vida de las personas en Massachusetts.
Hablaremos sobre:
La Ley de “Clean Slate” (Borrón y Cuenta Nueva) Esta ley sellaría automáticamente ciertos antecedentes penales elegibles después de que una persona complete su sentencia y sin nuevos delitos — ayudando a eliminar barreras para el empleo, la vivienda y otras oportunidades.
La Ley de Presunción de Inocencia Esta ley sellaría automáticamente los cargos que no resultaron en una condena, para que los casos desestimados o pendientes no sigan bloqueando oportunidades.
Venga a aprender, hacer preguntas y compartir sus pensamientos sobre cómo estas políticas afectan a nuestras comunidades.
Habrá comida, cuidado de niños e interpretación disponibles. Por favor indíquenos sus necesidades en el formulario de registro para poder apoyarle.
¡Esperamos verles y seguir construyendo poder juntos!
