Name: Lucia
Social Justice Group: 2018-2019
Date of Fieldwork: October 1, 2018
Name of Organization: Lift Every Vote
Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Brigette Olsen, Molly Harris
Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action
What I did:
We wrote postcards to ex-felons in Florida who don’t have the right to vote to tell them to pass Amendment 4.
What I learned:
Amendment 4 will allow 1.5 million ex-felons to be able to vote. This is called re-enfranchisement. It needs 60% of votes to pass. They made the voting times all different in different counties in Florida. Experts think this is because they want to stop certain neighborhoods and groups of people from voting.
What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
They made the voting times all different in different counties in Florida. Experts think this is because they want to stop certain neighborhoods and groups of people from voting.
