Expungement Clinic and Job Fair

DC's US Representative Oye Owolewa joins forces with CSOSA, Christian Legal Aid of Washington, DC (CLADC) and Gerald Cunningham of Maximus to host our first Expungement Clinic of the year (located at CSOSA's campus of 633 Indiana Ave NW). On March 23rd, returning citizens will learn about the record sealing process and then be paired with CLADC to start their record sealing process. We’ll also discuss how recent legislation affects DC’s record sealing process. After, Mr. Cunningham of Maximus will onboard clients onto job opportunities. Lastly, community leaders will provide professional building resources like resume building and interview tips.The goal is to reduce barriers and provide employment opportunities for our audience. The Expungement Clinic is from 10 am to 1 pm and all services come at no cost.

This Expungement Clinic comes at the heels of the recent SECUREDC legislation. Public Safety remains DC's #1 issue as there's been a rise of crime. Recent carjackings and violent incidents have led to local business closures, increased concerned conversations and emergency legislation. These factors, among others, made it necessary for Rep Oye's office to continue to host his upcoming Expungement Clinic. The Expungement Clinic is part of Representative Owolewa's commitment to improving public safety through resources and programs.
