Voting is a Fundamental Right

First, let's address this fundamental truth. Voting is a right, not a privilege. It is one of the most powerful tools individuals have to shape the world around them and participate in decisions that influence their lives. Just as incarceration does not erase someone’s humanity, it should not erase their voice. Mistakes shouldn’t silence people forever. Instead, the opportunity to vote offers a path forward – a chance for individuals to reconnect with their communities, to re-establish their sense of belonging, and to show they care about the issues shaping the society they live in. Voting allows people to express their hopes, their priorities, and their belief in a better future.
