WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Expunge Colorado exists to prove that a person is more than their record — dismantling the barriers it creates to housing, employment, and well-being through community-led education, policy advocacy, providing access to pro bono record sealing services and human-centered care.
Since 2018, Expunge Colorado has provided a free, annual record sealing clinic and program serving all Coloradans. Our vision is to expand our services to provide two to three record sealing programs in 2027. We simply need to grow and build our capacity to meet the increased demand of our services,
Having a criminal record has devastating, lifelong consequences that can affect families for multiple generations. Colorado law permits many charges to be removed yet few individuals experience the relief of a sealed record due to the complicated and costly process. Expunge Colorado exists to alleviate the legal and financial burdens put on individuals who want and deserve a fresh start. Record sealing can help restore access to housing, employment, volunteer opportunities, public assistance, and much more improving the overall health and wellness of justice-impacted people.

Expunge Colorado is a women/BIPOC-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since 2018, we have executed a free record sealing clinic/program in the Denver Metro area serving over 600+ Coloradans impacted by the criminal legal system.
In the past our team trains a team of volunteers to help and support petitioners through the complex steps of the petition-based record sealing process. Through continued education, advocacy efforts and events we are working to increase the number of sealed criminal records in the state.
The impact of our work transforms lives and communities by removing barriers to job opportunities, housing, and more. Our work provides individuals with a restored sense of dignity that has a ripple effect throughout that person's life, family and community.
From 2018-2020, the cofounders of Expunge Colorado volunteered with National Expungement Week, a national movement and organization, to provide free legal record sealing services to Denver. The 2019 record sealing clinic brought joy and success in helping 40 Coloradans seal their criminal records. Witnessing the impact this had on others and themselves, three cofounders sparked the idea of creating a statewide nonprofit that could focus on providing ongoing legal services and education on record sealing in Colorado.
The record sealing work of Expunge Colorado goes beyond just cannabis charges.
The national impact of the Black Lives Matter movement has brought more light to the injustices that face black and brown communities and low-income marginalized communities.
Expunge Colorado continues to provide a sustainable, ongoing solution for record sealing efforts throughout the state as a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Denver, CO.
