Background

Our democracy is rooted in the idea that everyone’s voice matters. However, in violation of these core American values, California continues to lock some people out of the voting booth. Currently, nearly 50,000 people in the Golden State are barred from participating in local, state, and federal elections simply because they are on parole. Because of persistent structural inequalities in our criminal legal system, these community members are disproportionately people of color.
