Tell State Senator Wiener - Support ACA-6 to "Free the Vote"!

State Senator Scott Wiener

Call Script

My name is _____, my zip code is ____, and I’m a member of IndivisibleSF.

I’m calling to ask State Senator Wiener to vote YES on ACA 6, which would put on the ballot a measure to restore voting rights to every person who has completed their prison term in California.

Nearly 50,000 Californians on parole are working, paying taxes, and positively contributing to their communities, yet they are unable to vote at any level of government. I believe that every Californian on parole should have the right to vote, and that this issue should be on the ballot in 2020. Thank you for your time.

Background

ACA 6, the “Free the Vote Act,” is heading to the Senate floor this week, and needs a 2/3 vote to pass! ACA 6 would restore voting rights to every person on parole in California. This will require passing an ACA, as well as an Assembly Bill (AB) to put voting rights on the 2020 ballot. Nearly 50,000 people on parole in California are working, paying taxes, and positively contributing to their communities, yet they are unable to vote at any level of government. This system operates as “taxation without representation,” which is antithetical to the founding of this country.

ACA 6 is sponsored by the Free the Vote Coalition, led by Initiate Justice, ACLU of California, Anti-Recidivism Coalition, Californians United for a Responsible Budget, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, League of Women Voters of California, People Over Profits San Diego, Vote Allies, and White People for Black Lives.
