Ashrei Foundation on LinkedIn: Ashrei is on the move today with an Offsite Photo ID Clinic at Normandy… (2024)

As a proud partner organization of Clean Slate MO, we'd like to share a podcast from Empower Missouri: Under the Dome LIVE from Philadelphia. In this episode, Patty Berger shares her journey from incarceration to becoming an advocate, highlighting the importance of Clean Slate in providing a fresh start for individuals with criminal records. ML Smith, co-director of Missouri's To Abolish the Death Penalty and founder of Missouri Justice Coalition, discusses the collateral consequences of incarceration and the vital role of Clean Slate in helping individuals reintegrate into society.

From the plantiffs' attorneys: “We respectfully disagree with the court’s decision, and will be discussing next steps with our faith leader clients. Missouri’s abortion ban is a direct attack on the separation of church and state, religious freedom and reproductive freedom. Missouri lawmakers made clear that they were imposing their personal religious beliefs on all Missourians when they enacted these laws. We remain committed to restoring abortion access in Missouri.”
