Friend,
This November, 4.4 million people in the U.S. will be denied the right to
vote because they have a felony conviction on their record. Hundreds of
thousands more are eligible to vote but can’t because they are being held
in jail pretrial.
And because of racial bias in arrests, prosecution, and convictions, Black
people of voting age are 3.5x more likely to be disenfranchised compared
to other voters. Does that seem right to you?
Having a felony conviction shouldn’t mean losing your right to vote.

Nearly 60 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, the fight to
safeguard the voting power of Black communities and other marginalized
groups continues.
Communities most harmed by mass incarceration should have the right to
make their voices heard at the ballot box. [ [link removed] ]Join Vera to say you support
the voting rights of all system-impacted people.
