From 2008-2013, VOTE worked with a number of local organizations (Safe Streets, Orleans Public Defenders, and Critical Resistance New Orleans) to host annual Expungement Clinics for people in the New Orleans area that carried arrest records that hampered their ability to access fair housing, employment and healthcare. For years, VOTE took the lead in completing the arduous process of assisting over 200 individuals through the legal maze of obtaining an expungement. In 2013 the Gulf Community welcomed the Justice and Accountability Center (JAC) into the mix and now refers those who are looking for expungements to their excellent team.
