About this listen
Welcome to Human Rights Matter! In this second episode, we explore a critical voting rights crisis affecting 4 million Americans. Did you know that completing a prison sentence doesn't always restore your right to vote? We dive into felony disenfranchisement laws - remnants of the Jim Crow era that continue to silence voices in our democracy. Learn about the racial disparities, hear stories of citizens locked out of the ballot box, and discover how states like Nebraska are fighting for change. Most importantly, find out what you can do to help restore voting rights in your community.
