That's a wrap! Thanks for your questions. We'll see you and all of the candidates on the campaign trail.

The ACLU has been fighting for civil rights and liberties for nearly 100 years. For the first time, we're directly engaging presidential candidates during the 2020 primaries: Our volunteers are fanning out nationwide to get candidates on the record about voting rights, immigrants' rights, abortion access, and a nationwide strategy to end mass incarceration.

When our volunteer got Bernie Sanders on the record to support restoring voting rights to people who are currently incarcerated, it sparked an important national dialogue, and we got flooded with questions.

For at least the next hour, you can ask our experts on voting rights and criminal justice reform anything you want. We're here to talk to you about the discriminatory history of felony disenfranchisement laws, how our mass incarceration crisis exacerbates this problem, how states are already letting people in prison and jail vote, and most importantly — why our next president must support the right to vote, even while incarcerated. Ask us anything!

Participants: Bobby Hoffman, Advocacy and Policy Counsel, u/ACLU_Bobby Janos Marton, Smart Justice State Campaigns Manager, u/janosdmarton Barron Jones, Smart Justice Coordinator for the ACLU of New Mexico, u/CitizenConvict

It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, debate which gin is the best, argue about whether or not you can yawn in your sleep, and talk about whatever your heart desires.

As always remember to follow our civility rules and save any meta feedback for our modmail.
