ONLINE—Voting Rights for Incarcerated Californians

In November 2020, California voted to refranchise 50,000 parolees under Prop 17, sparking a broader conversation about voting rights for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated citizens. What is the situation today? How has this question been discussed throughout state history?  Join us on Zoom on July 20 at 4pm for California on the Ballot: Voting Rights for Incarcerated Californians. To register, use the link below.
