Consider this shocking fact: as of 2020, one in 16 Black Americans of voting age have lost their voting rights.

Why? Because our criminal legal system locks up people of color and poor people at a disproportionate rate – combined with unjust felony voting laws that strip people with felonies of their sacred right to vote.

Imagine if you didn't have a say in who served as your mayor, governor, Congressmembers, or president. Your power, your place, and your voice in our democracy – all taken away.

It’s happening to millions of Americans right now because of felony disenfranchisement. And despite the fact that a majority of us believe that those with felonies should never lose their right to vote – our mass incarceration system is designed to silence the voices and communities most impacted by it.

These outdated laws are rooted in the Jim Crow era, and – and disproportionately impact communities of color and low-income communities.

With less than 100 days to go before this year’s all-important midterm elections, we must demand justice for the 5.2 million Americans who are being wrongfully silenced.

Join us in demanding that no one is wrongfully denied a say in our democracy.
