John,

The voice of the people should be heard in every election. That's why we need to do everything we can to make it easier for people to vote -- not harder.

The people of Florida know this. In 2018, voters there overwhelmingly supported a statewide constitutional amendment to restore voting rights to formerly incarcerated individuals. But despite the clear will of the people, state leaders enacted a law that would effectively prevent thousands from exercising their restored rights by forcing them to pay outstanding fines and fees before they can register to vote.

This morning, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition announced that, with the help of tens of thousands of grassroots donors and others, including Mike Bloomberg, they've raised more than $20 million to push back against this obstruction, and give more Floridians a chance to vote in the upcoming elections.

Will you help us get the message out about the growing momentum for voting rights in Florida?

The money raised will directly pay the fines and fees of tens of thousands of returning citizens so they will be eligible to register to vote. That will help support increased voter turnout for the 2020 election -- which will be among the most consequential elections in our history. It's critical that every eligible voice is heard.

As Mike said of the announcement, "The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right. Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it."
