56,000 Voters’ Rights Are at Stake in North Carolina Feat. Daryl Atkinson

56,000 Voters’ Rights Are at Stake in North Carolina Feat. Daryl Atkinson

In 1876, North Carolina added a felony disenfranchisement provision to its state constitution with the express purpose of disenfranchising Black voters. The provision remains in place today and is being challenged in Community Success Initiative v. Moore. The outcome of the case is currently pending before the North Carolina Supreme Court and will determine if individuals on probation, parole or post-release supervision — over 56,000 North Carolinians — have the right to vote. We’re joined by Forward Justice Co-Director, and attorney in the case, Daryl Atkinson to discuss what’s at stake in this crucial lawsuit.
