Amendment 4 is in danger. Fight back!

Last November, years of tireless work paid off when Amendment 4 restored voting rights to 1.4 million of our brothers and sisters throughout Florida.

Now, those voting rights may be in danger.

The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee in the Florida state legislature will be voting on a bill tomorrow, March 19th, that is an unconstitutional overreach and would restrict the number of people who would otherwise be eligible to vote.

Right now, we need you to call the 15 state legislators on the committee and let them know that you OPPOSE bill 19-03 because it will create additional barriers to voting for formerly convicted people.

What to Say

Hi, my name is _________ and I’m calling on behalf of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and 1.4 million formerly convicted people throughout Florida who just had their voting rights restored by Amendment 4 last November.

I’m a Florida voter, and I want to say that I am opposed to Proposed Committee Bill 19-03 in the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee.

I am opposed to the bill because it will restrict the number of people who are eligible to vote. This bill would change the law to allow people outside of the judicial system to determine who can and can’t participate in our democracy. Florida has an existing standard for completion of sentence that is currently being used. Changing that standard represents a threat to what the nearly 65% of Florida voters who approved Amendment 4 intended.

I ask that the Representative please vote NO on 19-03 in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee tomorrow morning. Thank you!

Who to Call

These are the 15 members of the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee and the phone numbers to their offices:

Remember, the fate of democracy in Florida is in your hands!
