Date of Fieldwork: October 1, 2018

Name of Organization: Lift Every Vote

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

What I did:

We sent postcards telling people to vote for the 4th amendment in Florida.

What I learned:

I learned that in Florida there are 1.5 million people who can’t vote because they are ex-felons.

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

I learned that it takes a lot of work to bring change and that amendment 4 needs 60% of the votes to pass.
