The Martinsville-Henry County and Danville Chapters hosted a Restoration of Rights Workshop on March 16 at the Martinsville Virginia Organizing Building. Ami Shah from the Advancement Project helped leaders think about the history of voter disenfranchisement in Virginia, the current process of rights restoration and how we can work together to encourage our elected officials to create an automatic process for the restoration of voting rights. Everyone left with a new understanding of the issue and concrete ways to help change their communities.
Keep up the good work, Martinsville-Henry County!
