Wrongfully Convicted Felon Completes Doctorate; Virginia Still Will Not Expunge His Felony

The Issue

Many states have chosen to allow formerly convicted felons to have their records expunged for employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Virginia is one of the last states to deny expungements, no matter how much time has passed and no matter how a felon may have proven that he has been rehabilitated from the sentence. The laws in place to prevent convicted felons from returning to normalcy are not only crippling but unconstitutional. Please sign our petition to allow one time felons to have their records expunged after a period of 20 years. https://www.facebook.com/25-Million-Felons-United-Political-Action-Committee-217478861759839
