Whatever happens from here, I’ll always be grateful to Bernie for being the only candidate with a policy platform that includes the right to vote for incarcerated ppl.
I spend a lot of time w/folks in prison & know how much this means to them. It’s made them feel less invisible.

If you’re unfamiliar, the vast majority of people in prison are counted by the census as residents of the place where they are incarcerated, but they don’t have the opportunity to vote there. Their bodies are counted, their voices are not.

This is not to say every incarcerated person is a Bernie supporter necessarily, incarcerated ppl, like everyone else, have a complex range of views that shape their politics & beliefs.
Still, I haven’t met a single incarcerated person who doesn’t deeply appreciate his position.
