GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — According to the Black and Brown Cannabis Guild, studies show that 95% of people with convictions will live with the barriers that come with them for the rest of their lives because of the difficulty of getting their records cleared.
Because of that, their group is hosting a clinic in Grand Rapids this weekend to try and help people get low-level crimes expunged.
They say this the first time the city of Grand Rapids is taking part in National Expungement Week, which is a time when advocates focus on restoring the rights of those who have been convicted with low-level crimes.
For those interested, the clinic will take place from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday at 121 Franklin Street SW in Grand Rapids.
