The right to vote should never be taken away

This November, 4.4 million people in the United States will not be able to vote because of a felony conviction. Racial bias in arrests, prosecution, and convictions mean that Black people of voting age are 3.5x more likely to be disenfranchised compared to other voters.

Incarceration should not determine who has the right to vote in our elections. Add your name if you agree.

The majority of people barred from voting because of a felony conviction live, work, and participate in their communities. They deserve to have a say in their government, and the people most harmed by mass incarceration should have the right to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Add your name if you agree: to make our democracy stronger, we must end felony disenfranchisement today.
