Cher membre du Congr\u00e8s :<\/p>\r\n

During this year commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March for voting rights in Selma, Alabama and the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act, we, the undersigned organizations, a coalition of civil rights, social and criminal justice, and other legal and advocacy organizations, are writing to urge your support and co-sponsorship of a bill that is also critical to voting rights in America -- the Democracy Restoration Act of 2015. This bill seeks to restore voting rights in federal elections to people who are out of prison and living in the community. The current patchwork of laws that disfranchises people with criminal records has created an inconsistent and unfair federal electoral process, perpetuating entrenched racial discrimination. As organizations dedicated to promoting democracy and justice as well as equal rights for all Americans, we strongly support passage of this legislation.<\/p>\r\n

Actuellement, 5,85 millions de citoyens am\u00e9ricains sont priv\u00e9s du droit de vote en raison d\u2019une condamnation p\u00e9nale. 4,4 millions d\u2019entre eux sont sortis de prison, vivent dans la communaut\u00e9, paient des imp\u00f4ts et \u00e9l\u00e8vent des enfants ; pourtant, ils restent priv\u00e9s de leurs droits pendant des ann\u00e9es, souvent des d\u00e9cennies, et parfois \u00e0 vie. Les \u00c9tats-Unis sont l\u2019une des rares nations d\u00e9mocratiques occidentales \u00e0 exclure un si grand nombre de personnes du processus d\u00e9mocratique. Une action du Congr\u00e8s est n\u00e9cessaire pour r\u00e9tablir le droit de vote aux \u00e9lections f\u00e9d\u00e9rales pour les millions d\u2019Am\u00e9ricains qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 lib\u00e9r\u00e9s de prison, mais qui continuent d\u2019\u00eatre priv\u00e9s de leur capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 participer pleinement \u00e0 la vie civique. La loi de restauration de la d\u00e9mocratie de 2015, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par le s\u00e9nateur Ben Cardin et le repr\u00e9sentant John Conyers, vise \u00e0 rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 ces injustices.<\/p>\r\n

Les lois de privation du droit de vote ont prolif\u00e9r\u00e9 pendant l\u2019\u00e8re Jim Crow, et ont \u00e9t\u00e9 promulgu\u00e9es parall\u00e8lement aux taxes \u00e9lectorales et aux tests d\u2019alphab\u00e9tisation, dans le but d\u2019emp\u00eacher les Afro-Am\u00e9ricains de voter. En 1900, 38 \u00c9tats refusaient le droit de vote aux personnes condamn\u00e9es au p\u00e9nal, la plupart d\u2019entre eux les privant de leur droit de vote jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019ils soient graci\u00e9s. Les effets escompt\u00e9s de ces lois se poursuivent encore aujourd\u2019hui. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale, un Afro-Am\u00e9ricain sur 13 a perdu le droit de vote. Si les taux d\u2019incarc\u00e9ration actuels se maintiennent, trois Afro-Am\u00e9ricains sur dix de la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration perdront le droit de vote \u00e0 un moment donn\u00e9 de leur vie. Ce probl\u00e8me a \u00e9galement des r\u00e9percussions sur les communaut\u00e9s latino-am\u00e9ricaines, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 leur surrepr\u00e9sentation dans le syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale. Cette disparit\u00e9 raciale a \u00e9galement des r\u00e9percussions sur les familles des personnes priv\u00e9es de leur droit de vote et sur les communaut\u00e9s dans lesquelles elles r\u00e9sident, en diminuant leur voix politique collective.<\/p>\r\n

Dans ce pays, le vote est un symbole national d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 politique et de citoyennet\u00e9 \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re. Lorsqu\u2019un citoyen se voit refuser ce droit et cette responsabilit\u00e9, sa position en tant que membre \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 est remise en question. Les responsabilit\u00e9s de la citoyennet\u00e9 \u2013 travailler, payer des imp\u00f4ts et contribuer \u00e0 sa communaut\u00e9 \u2013 sont des devoirs conf\u00e9r\u00e9s \u00e0 ceux qui r\u00e9int\u00e8grent la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Punir davantage les individus qui sont de retour dans la communaut\u00e9 en leur refusant le droit \u00e0 la citoyennet\u00e9 contredit l\u2019attente selon laquelle les citoyens se sont r\u00e9habilit\u00e9s apr\u00e8s une condamnation. Les \u00c9tats-Unis ne devraient pas \u00eatre un pays o\u00f9 les effets des erreurs pass\u00e9es ont d\u2019innombrables cons\u00e9quences \u2013 et aucune possibilit\u00e9 de r\u00e9paration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

L\u2019adoption de la loi de restauration de la d\u00e9mocratie permettra \u00e0 tous les Am\u00e9ricains vivant dans leurs communaut\u00e9s de pouvoir participer au processus \u00e9lectoral. Une d\u00e9mocratie forte et dynamique n\u00e9cessite la plus large base possible de participation \u00e9lectorale, et permettre \u00e0 toutes les personnes ayant purg\u00e9 leur peine de prison de voter est le meilleur moyen de garantir le plus haut niveau de participation.<\/p>\r\n

Nous vous exhortons \u00e0 soutenir l\u2019adoption de la loi de restauration de la d\u00e9mocratie de 2015.<\/p>\r\n
