Returning Citizens Voters Movement Press Conference

Join the Returning Citizens Voters Movement for a press conference this Friday January 13th at 10 am at the Federal Court House on 6th & Arch Streets.

Philadelphia’s community of Formerly Incarcerated & Convicted People (FICP) ranges between 200,000 and 400,000.
• Often people with felony convictions believe they cannot vote.
• In PA, voting rights are automatically restored for ALL people who are no longer confined. Probation or parole status does not matter.

• Make your voice heard. Shape the resources dedicated to the FICP community. Help clear the path to a better future for our kids. Vote!

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and those who took steps to ensure we all could vote, join us for the official launch of our voter education, registration, and participation initiative:
