Uplift Solutions is proud to announce another 60 Philadelphians have started the process to get their records cleared thanks to another FREE record clearing clinic held on April 20, 2024. “Unfortunately, the way the system is designed, clearing your record is the only real way to get a fresh start,” says Atif Bostic, Uplift CEO.

The Event was held at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church during their annual “Men’s Know Your Numbers” day. The event was attended by more than 600 men who had an opportunity to take advantage of free health screenings to include prostate, retina, glucose, and more. The event also featured free haircuts, massages, and games.

Volunteer attorneys from the Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity (PLSE) held private confidential meetings with individuals seeking to clear their record where they reviewed their individual cases, developed an action plan, and started expungement and pardon applications. “This was an opportunity for individuals that have a past criminal record, who may have lost hope, meet with an attorney to discuss their individual case and apply for a pardon or expungement, giving them renewed hope and possibility,” says Maureen Cislo, Uplift’s Director of Development and Communications.

Uplift is proud to partner with Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity, and the Promise to bring hope and resources to our communities. Aligned with our mission of reducing barriers for justice impacted individuals, we will continue to hold record clearing events throughout the year to
