Voting Rights Bill Passes House 83-16!

ukfIMG_0379


HB 70, our bill to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their debt to society, just passed the House floor 83-16, with strong majorities of both Democrats and Republicans voting Yes!


Rep Jesse Crenshaw (D) and Lonnie Napier (R) spoke out strongly on the House floor in favor of the legislation.

This win closely follows our victory last week in which the same bill passed out of House committee unanimously.


Congratulations to everyone who has helped make this possible!


Now the real challenge begins in the Senate.  Pick up that phone and Call your Senator, write a letter to the editor, and otherwise spread the word, then join us for our major lobby day and rally in Frankfort on March 4th!


We can win this.
