Today, the ACLU of Hawai‘i and our community partners hosted a Record Expungement and Bench Warrant Clinic at Waimānalo Elementary. Kama'aina who carry a criminal record often face barriers to employment, housing, education, and other essential opportunities. Without support, these barriers can lead to more interactions with the justice system, trapping individuals in a cycle of arrests and convictions.

By helping people clear their records, we’re working to break this cycle and give them the fresh start they deserve. Mahalo to the team and all of our partners for their hard work in making today possible!
