Centering the voices of & in deep partnership w/ incarcerated advocates, our amendment to end jail-based voter disenfranchisement passed, impacting 7,000-9,000 eligible incarcerated voters & expanding voting rights for incarcerated people for the first time in decades.

Workers were instructed to use alternate exits to avoid our protest but our message is clear: @MassDPH needs to step in to save the people incarcerated in @MACorrections and county jails. Prisoners are still MA residents & *PEOPLE* & must be protected. #FreeThemAllForPublicHealth

RIGHT NOW: protesters are at Mass Dept of Public Health demanding they immediately reduce the prison population to save the lives of incarcerated people. @massDPH, @massgovernor has failed our loved ones. You must #FreeThemAll4PublicHealth

In MA, our community members who are incarcerated inside of prisons are excluded from participating in elections and all other aspects of the political process. This year, I decided to donate my vote through @VoiceofEI’s #DonateYourVote campaign.

Passing S2846 means that families no longer have to be a revenue source for Sheriffs - especially low income families deciding what essentials they can afford: rent, utilities, food, transportation - or phone calls to their incarcerated loved ones. #KeepFamiliesConnected

We believe that if we had not held the last national prison strike with a demand to vote for ALL, there would not have been a real national debate and actions about it for anyone with a record that kept them from voting. Prisoners caused that conversation
