Just listened to Obama’s eulogy, and when he said that every formerly incarcerated person should have the right to vote, I thought of the tireless work that incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people have done for decades to make that something a president might say one day.
Unless I missed it, I only wish he had said this while he was actually in office.
Formerly incarcerated ppl should absolutely have the right to vote and I’m glad more people are coming around to that, but let’s not forget that *currently* incarcerated ppl should have the right to vote as well. I want to live in a world where that isn’t a controversial thing.
Looks like his administration came out in support of formerly incarcerated people having the right to vote in 2010 which is good to see.
