After forming in November, the Rebuilding Re-entry Coalition, a consortium of returning citizens, service providers and civic hacking groups, is rolling out the big enchilada next month: a demo day.

Some of the apps created last November include Helping Businesses Help RCs, Clean Slate (DC): Your Criminal Record Sealing Assistant and DC Open 211 for returning citizens.
