The suggested donation is $17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the campaign\u2019s last fundraiser before election day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who: <\/strong><strong><em>Matt McGorry<\/em><\/strong>, Orange Is the New Black, How to Get Away with Murder<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ash Kalra<\/em><\/strong>, California State Assemblymember (D-San Jose)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Michael Mendoza<\/em><\/strong><strong> <\/strong>(moderator), Director of National Advocacy, Anti-Recidivism Coalition; Executive Committee Member, Yes On Prop 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>John Windham<\/em><\/strong>, Fellow, Yes On Prop 17. Mr. Windham is currently barred from voting despite having completed his prison term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Betty McKay<\/em><\/strong>, Fellow, Yes On Prop 17.

Register<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/yeson17OctEvent\"> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background: <\/strong>Nearly 50,000 Californians can\u2019t vote even though they have returned home after completing prison terms to raise families, work jobs, pay taxes, and otherwise contribute to their communities. California\u2019s constitution currently restricts voting rights for people who have completed their prison terms. Proposition 17 would lift these limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to biases in California\u2019s criminal legal system, poor people and a disproportionate number of Black, Latino and Asian Americans are more likely than others to be convicted of crimes and lose their voting rights as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Proposition 17 is approved by voters, California would join 17 other states, both red and blue, that automatically restore voting rights upon release from prison. California will also become the first state to restore voting rights via statewide ballot measure since the 2018 passage of Amendment 4 in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fundraiser follows a<a href=\"https:\/\/traceygeronimo.com\/yo17\/endorsements-3\/\"> wave of endorsements<\/a> from scores of civil rights groups, federal and state elected officials, the faith community, criminal justice and public safety groups, labor unions, and media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Proposition 17 is sponsored by Yes On Prop 17, a campaign by and for Californians directly impacted by mass incarceration, and the following organizations:<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acluca.org\/\"><strong><em> ACLU of California<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/antirecidivism.org\/\"><strong><em> Anti-Recidivism Coalition<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brennancenter.org\/\"><strong><em> Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.initiatejustice.org\/\"><strong><em> Initiate Justice<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lwvc.org\/\"><strong><em> League of Women Voters of California<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mifamiliavota.org\/\"><strong><em> Mi Familia Vota<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/voteallies.org\/\"><strong><em> Vote Allies<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/votingrightslab.org\/\"><strong><em> Voting Rights Lab Action<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>, and<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awarela.org\/white-people-4-black-lives\"><strong><em> White People 4 Black Lives<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>.
