John,
As of 2022, over 4.4 million people in the United States were prohibited from voting due to a felony conviction, and thousands more eligible voters were unable to cast their ballot due to their incarceration status. The Sentencing Project, Human Rights Watch, and the American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) released a report, “ Out of Step: U.S. Policy on Voting Rights in Global Perspective, [[link removed]] ” revealing that the United States is out of step with the rest of the world in disenfranchising large numbers of citizens based on criminal convictions.
Please join us for a webinar discussing the report’s findings and the advocacy needed to guarantee voting rights for everyone in the United States regardless of criminal legal status.
