A powerful new piece from the Chicago Sun-Times highlights a reality we see every day: for college applicants with a criminal record, simply “checking the box” can become a barrier to education before they’re ever considered on their merit.

Education should be a pathway forward, not another door closed.

At Xpunge Chicago, we work to change that. Expungement and sealing records can help remove these barriers, giving people a real opportunity to pursue school, careers, and a fresh start without their past defining their future.

If you or someone you know is being held back by a record, we may be able to help.
