People deserve the chance to move on from their past. Lynn Ruane’s Spent Convictions Bill would give people a real second chance to work, volunteer and rebuild their lives. Because people shouldn’t be defined forever by mistakes they’ve already paid for.

It has been deeply surreal to be trying to fight this occupation while also doing my usual job, parenting, etc. Just describing the basic facts sounds unreal. Really appreciate this clarity about what's happening in Mpls and how much worse it might get from the NYT today.
