Name of Organization: Lift Every Vote

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Molly Harris, Brigette Olsen

Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action

What I did:

For our fieldwork we made postcards to help pass amendment 4. We made 247 postcards in total, and we are sending them to different counties in Florida in hopes to get people to vote for this amendment.

What I learned:

I learned about amendment for, and how we need to re enfranchise felons. They deserve the right to vote, they are people too. Over the country, there is over a million felons who can’t vote. It is very important to get them to vote, because it could really help make the country equal.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

Through this fieldwork I learned that in order to make a change, we need to take action. In this, we were taking direct action. We made many postcards to encourage people to vote. Even though it was not the biggest thing we could have done, it can make a difference.
