Free The Vote 2020

A coalition pushing for the restoration of #VotingRights through the passage of Prop 17 (ACA 6, the Free the Vote Act).

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

John Legend (@johnlegend) is one of many who will be voting to restore voting rights to nearly 50,000 Californians. Individuals on parole deserve a say in the future. Join us this November by voting “YES” on #Prop17. #FreetheVote2020

VICTORY for PROP 17!

50K Californians on parole will be able to vote in the next election!

Thank all of you who voted for Prop 17, who pounded the pavement, who phone banked, texted, tweeted, & everything else to move this legislative mountain!

THANK YOU, CALIFORNIA! Thanks to the hard work of supporters, #Prop17 has passed, restoring voting rights to more than 50,000 people. We’ve made history by taking a step on the path to eliminating voter and felony disenfranchisement. #FTV2020 #YesOn17

[ACA 4 to #FreeTheVote @FreeTheVoteCA]

Today, California voters can right a historic wrong by voting #YesOnProp17. 50,000 Californians are excluded from our democracy because of a Jim Crow-era law designed to keep Black and brown citizens from voting. #FreeTheVote

Thank you, @johnlegend, for your support of Prop 17!

[John Legend @johnlegend]

Imagine being a citizen of America, paying taxes, and still being denied the right to vote.

This is the reality for thousands of Californians.

Vote yes on Prop. 17 to restore the right to vote for returning citizens.

California’s Proposition 17, on the ballot now, gives the state the opportunity to restore voting rights to 50,000 Californians who have completed their sentences and are on parole. 👏🏾 #BlavityOpEd submitted by @ftv2020 https://t.co/b5jOuInhGo

THIS IS IT, CALIFORNIA. In a country that was founded on the premise of representation, all citizens need a voice. Vote YES on #Prop17 to rightfully restore voting rights to more than 50,000 parolees in California. #FreetheVote2020 #ElectionDay #YesOn17

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

Read the powerful op-ed from Dorsey Nunn, who shares his firsthand experience with being denied the right to vote while on parole. You can change that tomorrow for 50,000 disenfranchised Californians. #FTV2020 #YesOn17 #Prop17

Joey Orozco is a person on parole who knows first hand the changes that need to be made to the system. You have just ONE day to vote YES on #Prop17 to give parolees like Joey the right to vote and allow them to make meaningful change in their communities.

“It is imperative that we recognize that felony disenfranchisement is a fancy name for voter suppression.” Restore voting rights to Californians on parole by voting YES on #Prop17. #FreetheVote2020

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

America frequently disenfranchises people of color. We have the chance to address it. Vote YES on #Prop17.

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

Being on parole isn’t supposed to be a punishment—it’s a part of reintegration. But without the right to vote, those on parole can’t fully reintegrate. Vote “YES” on #Prop17 to build stronger communities in California. #FTV2020 #VotingRightsCantWait

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

In California, 75 percent of those in prison are people of color. Denying them the right to vote is disenfranchisement, and it’s wrong. Vote YES on #Prop17 to end this prosecution of parolees of color.

The Young Women's Freedom Center has created the 2020 Voter's Guide for Formerly Incarcerated Folks and First-Time Voters. It’s a must-have for Californians in the upcoming election! Link for more info: https://t.co/uvDfWCGXkg

"Please don't judge me by my past."

50,000 Californians on parole are currently unable to vote. #Prop17 would allow them to regain their right to vote.

Check out this piece by the @latimes that demonstrates why Prop 17 is critical for CA.

Timothy Robinson served more than 30 years in California State prison. As a parolee, he wants to be of service to his community. He can do that in all ways but one: he can’t vote. Vote YES on #Prop17 to restore voting rights to Californians on parole. #YesOn17 #FTV2020

[Free The Vote 2020 @ftv2020]

Free the Vote 2020 is grateful to have the support of legendary civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who understands why democracy is stronger when we expand it and ensure everyone has access to the vote. #YesOn17 #Prop17 #FreeTheVote2020
