President Biden announced even more incentives at designated vaccination sites such as extended hours, drop-in daycare, and transportation services through Uber and Lyft.

If you’re in Washington state, the incentive only lasts until July 12th

Michigan Had its First Expungement Fair

Expungement is eligible for some cannabis-related misdemeanors and select felony cases. 

Numerous attendees stated that their convictions had been sitting in their records for multiple decades and had made it extremely difficult for them to grow professionally. 

The Lt. Governor of Michigan mentioned in a statement that, “Michigan’s updated laws and events like today’s will have an immense positive impact on hundreds of thousands of residents who have faced a confusing and expensive process to apply for an expungement. There is more work to do, but Michigan is proud to be a leader in removing barriers to economic opportunity for people who deserve a second chance.”
