This not only undermines Nebraska\u2019s legislative process, but disenfranchises and discourages\u00a0 individuals who are trying to reintegrate into their communities and participate in our democracy.\r\n\r\n\u201cOn the same day, a federal appeals court in Mississippi upheld the state's practice of disenfranchising individuals convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent offenses such as forgery and timber theft. This decision perpetuates a practice rooted in the Jim Crow era, where voting rights were stripped upon conviction of crimes Black citizens were more likely to be convicted of. The disenfranchising crimes listed in the Mississippi Constitution continues to disproportionately affect Black communities.\r\n\r\n\u201cSince 1997, 26 states and the District of Columbia have expanded voting rights for individuals with felony convictions, enabling over 2 million eligible residents to regain their right to vote. These recent regressive decisions in Nebraska and Mississippi undermine the will of the people and take both states backward. The National Voting in Prison Coalition calls on state lawmakers to remove all barriers to the ballot and restore the rights of people impacted by the criminal-legal system.\u201d\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\n<strong>La Coalition nationale pour le vote en prison<\/strong> (NVPC) est une coalition nationale d&#039;organisations de justice p\u00e9nale et de d\u00e9mocratie form\u00e9e pour faire progresser les droits de vote garantis aux Am\u00e9ricains impliqu\u00e9s dans la justice, y compris ceux actuellement et anciennement incarc\u00e9r\u00e9s ou autrement touch\u00e9s par le syst\u00e8me juridique p\u00e9nal."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NATIONAL VOTING IN PRISON COALITION RESPONDS TO THE RECENT ROLLBACKS OF FELONY DISENFRANCHISEMENT REFORMS IN NEBRASKA &amp;
