State Rep. Leonela Felix '13 experienced firsthand the stigma that comes with having a criminal record. That's why she boldly advocated for the automatic expungements included in Rhode Island's marijuana legalization bill signed into law this week. “I know what it’s like to have that record on you, as a clutch to not be able to obtain and get those opportunities,” Felix told the bostonglobe. “And I really didn’t want my fellow Rhode Islanders to have to go through the same struggles or continue to have those struggles, particularly when we’re making revenue from the legalization of cannabis. It’s just unfair to even think that to be a possibility.” Link in bio to read the full story.
