In Florida, if you are convicted of a felony you are BARRED FOR LIFE from voting. This currently excludes 1.4 million Floridians from participating in democracy. These are people from all walks of life. That can all change in 2018 — with the Voting Restoration Amendment (Amendment 4)— a Florida ballot initiative - that gives Florida voters the choice to return the eligibility to vote to our friends, family and neighbors who have fully completed their sentences. The grassroots-driven effort is relying on everyday Americans like us to step up and help.

Separating families is not new in our country; our country was founded on and made rich by separating and selling enslaved Africans as well as the genocide as well as separation of Native Americans from their families. We cannot change our history or pretend it didn’t happen. What we CAN DO is learn from it, STEP UP NOW, and call out injustice and abuse when we see it. ![]() FIND YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER TO FIND THE WATCH PARTY CLOSEST TO YOU! CAN'T FIND ONE? HOST YOUR OWN!
