HOST: Declaration for American Democracy

Partners: Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Voters Matter, Public Citizen


In 2022, an estimated 4.6 million Americans were disenfranchised by Jim Crow era laws that
ban voting for people with prior felony convictions.

Some states, like Florida, also require people to pay court-ordered fines before regaining voting rights — even if they have already completed their sentences.

These discriminatory laws disproportionately target Black and Brown Americans, and prevent them from having a voice in our democracy. These relics of one of the most violent and un-democratic periods of our history must go!

Declaration for American Democracy joins our allies at Black Voters Matter and Public Citizen in hosting various organizing events across the country to defend the right to vote and prevent disenfranchisement in future elections.

Join us for this Restore the Vote panel of experts as we discuss the impact of disenfranchisement, how you and those impacted can get involved in your state, and how we can achieve the restoration of voting rights for Americans across the country.

Together, we can work to restore voting rights for Americans who have been targeted by anti-democratic forces for generations!
