Getting Past the Background Check

A Criminal Record Shouldn’t Cost You a Job or a Home.

Know your rights. Understand what employers and landlords can—and cannot—do when considering your criminal record.

Join law student Emily Carrazana and practicing attorneys for an informative discussion on employment and housing discrimination, legal protections, and practical steps you can take when those protections fall short.

This event is organized by 2nd Chance Voters in partnership with Drexel University’s Stern Community Lawyering Clinic.

Bring your questions. Get real answers from legal professionals.

Who should attend? Anyone with a criminal record, family members, employers, and community advocates.

Free and open to the community.
