The Promise: Record Clearing Clinics – Nov 4,11 & 18
Posted by The Promise on October 17, 2023
The Promise is investing in strategies to remove barriers to employment. Through the Jobs and Opportunity Challenge, we’re partnering with trusted community organizations to expand outreach, run record clearing clinics, and leverage key learnings.
Record Clearing is important to the workforce. Incarceration is shown to limit opportunity and depress hourly wages by approximately 11% and annual earnings by 40%.
For more than 300,000 Philadelphians with a conviction, their record is preventing their ability to provide for themselves and their families. Studies have shown that within one year of a person getting their record sealed, their wages go up by over 22% primarily from new employment opportunities.

A conviction should not be a life sentence to poverty.
