From: Councilmember McElhaney
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution In Support Of Proposition 17 A Ballot Initiative To Enfranchise Formerly Incarcerated Citizens On Parole
I support Prop. 17 because our democracy is stronger when every voice is heard
I support Prop. 17 because it strengthens the political power of Black and Brown communities
I support Prop. 17 because my neighbors and colleagues deserve a voice in our communities
I support Prop. 17 because it undoes a long legacy of racially biased voter suppression and felon disenfranchisement
I support Prop. 17 because 50,000 Californians on parole deserve to have a say in the policies that affect their daily lives
I support Prop. 17 because California should live up to its ideals and not fall behind 20 states that do not prevent people on community supervision from voting
I support Prop. 17 because civic engagement supports people returning home and reduces recidivism
Please pass this. It is only fair for people ( citizens ) who have served their time be allowed to vote. It is critical and essential in a democracy that everyone has a chance to vote. California should live up to its ideals and not fall behind 20 states that do not prevent people on community supervision from voting. thank you.
Part of the success of reentry is having people become involved and connected with their community. How can they feel part of their community if they are not allowed to vote? Please support Prop 17 so we can have our community members fully engaged in positive ways.
I urge you to support Prop 17, which will be one more step toward ending New Jim Crow disenfranchisement of communities devastated by mass criminalization.
