360 Campaign Consulting is working with Campaign Legal Center's Restore Your Vote project to launch a campaign in Iowa to restore voting rights to people with convictions. Felony disenfranchisement silences the voices of over 23 million Americans and has a disproportionate impact on communities of color. There are currently 18 million Americans with past convictions that have the right to vote but don't know it. 5 million more may be eligible to restore their voting rights with access to their state's rights restoration processes. We are running a campaign to get the word out and help people restore their right to vote.
