Tonya Anderson speaks about Georgia’s new criminal record clearing law (SB 288), which GJP helped to pass. SB 288 made it possible for convictions to be expunged for the first time in Georgia. This video was originally created for Grass Roots Justice 2022. To learn more about SB288 and record clearing in Georgia, visit www.GJP.org/record-restriction-expungement/.
For 35 years, Georgia Justice Project (GJP) has served Georgians impacted by the criminal legal system. GJP approaches social change in three ways: through legal and social services - including holistic criminal defense, early termination of probation, criminal record clearing, and other reentry services; by advocating for a better Georgia, resulting in 21 changes to Georgia law so far; and by educating communities statewide on criminal justice and reentry issues. These approaches advance GJP goals to lower the number of Georgians under correctional control and reduce barriers to reentry.
