¡Estamos encantados de que el nuevo secretario del Estado haya actualizado los formularios de restitución de derechos! Es una gran noticia, ya que permite a los ciudadanos que regresan recuperar sus derechos incluso antes de la votación sobre la enmienda constitucional en noviembre.

We have been working on this for decades, and we will continue to push for change until it is done!

Barbara Harris
Treasurer and Member of the State Governing Board

We're thrilled the new Secretary of the Commonwealth @candimundonking.bsky.social updated the Restoration of Rights forms! This is great news as it gives returning citizens the ability to have their rights restored even before the Constitutional Amendment vote in #November

Wishing you a Happy #LunarNewYear #YearOfTheHorse #CNY #YearOfTheFireHorse #FireHorse

#OTD #TodayInHistory Black men were given the right to vote in 1870 through 15th Amendment
We know disenfranchisement exists disproportionately impacting Black voters
#Virginia voted to change the state constitution reinstating voting rights to #ReturningCitizens
Your Voice Your #Vote this #November

Virginia Organizing Vice Chair Reflects on Recent Steps Towards Restoration of Voting Rights Duane Edwards has advocated for changes to Virginia's disenfranchisement law for almost two decades. Now, a constitutional amendment & a historic court decision mean such changes could be on the way.

“For this to come to the people on the ballot—I’m excited for that, but then at the same time, this will kind of tell me whether it’s as important an issue to other people as it is to me,” said Edwards.

The Vice Chair of our State Governing Board, Duane Edwards, spoke about the passage of the Restoration of Rights amendment bill by the General Assembly. Next, it will move to the ballot for the public for a vote.

Wythe County Chapter held their annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. March and Celebration -joined & marched in unity with their community.

La sección del condado de Wythe celebró su marcha y conmemoración anual en honor al Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., y marcharon en unidad junto con su comunidad.

We want to see this change to the Virginia Constitution all the way to the end.
-Patrice, Chairperson

In the words of Dr. King, "Give us the ballot, and we will no longer have to worry the federal government about our basic rights."

To apply this sentiment to the issue at hand - give us the ballot so that all Virginians can exercise the basic rights they deserve.

"Voting is the foundation stone for political action." -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the most influential civil rights activists of the 20th century, and arguably throughout history.

Queremos ver este cambio en la Constitución de Virginia hasta el final.

En solidaridad,

Patrice Smallwood
Presidenta

En palabras del Dr. King: «Denos el voto y ya no tendremos que preocuparnos por nuestros derechos fundamentales ante el gobierno federal». Para aplicar este sentimiento al tema que nos ocupa: denos el voto para que todos los virginianos puedan ejercer los derechos fundamentales que se merecen.

«El voto es la piedra angular de la acción política». -Reverendo Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

El reverendo Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fue uno de los activistas por los derechos civiles más influyentes del siglo XX y, posiblemente, de toda la historia.
