Together, we build stronger neighborhoods. Together, we build people power.

Weber/RENEW and Clean Slate RI are teaming up for an informational and qualification session about expungement.

Have you been impacted by the criminal justice system? If qualified you can get your record expunged and get a 2nd chance. Your whole life shouldn’t be defined by a mistake from your past.
At this session you'll learn how expungement works, what can be expunged, if you're eligible, and how to apply.

🚨 CAR RALLY FOR ROSS AMOS 🚨

Another family is grieving. Another life has been lost behind prison walls.

Join us as we honor Ross Amos and demand accountability for the ongoing crisis of medical neglect in Rhode Island prisons. No family should have to wonder whether their loved one will receive adequate medical care while in state custody.

Our loved ones are not sent to prison to die.

📅 Wednesday, June 10, 2026
🚗 Car Rally Begins at 2:00 PM
📍 Meet behind the Cranston DMV at 1:30 PM

Need a ride? Meet at DARE (340 Lockwood St., Providence) at 1:00 PM and travel with us.

Bring your signs, your voices, and your commitment to justice as we call for transparency, accountability, and an end to preventable deaths behind bars.
