Civic Power: Challenging 50 Years of Mass Incarceration Webinar


Webinar presented by The Sentencing Project.

Fifty years ago, the United States embarked on a path of mass incarceration that has led to a staggering increase in the prison population and the number of people disenfranchised from voting due to a felony conviction. More than 4.6 million people were disenfranchised from voting in 2022 despite 25 states and Washington, DC expanding voting rights to persons with felony convictions since 1997. During the first quarter of 2023, major voting rights expansions were gained Minnesota and New Mexico. How can advocacy organizers, researchers, and others build on recent efforts to end felony disenfranchisement?

Join us to learn about strategies to advance voting in prison/rights restoration campaigns. * By registering for this event, you agree to receive occasional emails from The Sentencing Project. You can unsubscribe at any time.
