Katherine Zuk  Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity - Criminal Record Expungement & Pardons Update #1

Hi everyone! Quick update about where we are in this project. I am envisioning it to have three projects nested within it: 1) collecting data and securely storing it; 2) building a new, internal generator that retrieves this collected data to generate expungement paperwork and screen for sealing and pardon eligibility; and 3) potentially linking this generator with our pardon app (in development), which assists people with filling out the pardon application.

At the moment, we are in early stages of the data collecting/scraping. To stay updated on how this progresses, join the Slack channel! I will be posting most of the updates there. Also, send me an email at zuk@plsephilly.org so that I can send you a volunteer confidentiality form. Looking forward to updating you all soon!
