This weeks podcast features in interview with David Walker of ACLU Iowa & Executive Committee member of NAACP Des Moine Branch. Iowa has now made it legal and easier for people with a criminal past to vote! We learned about the outstanding work David and several other groups have done to give Ex Incarcerated individuals the right to vote in Iowa. We touched on Voting, on serving on juries, and helping people who've committed felonies gave a chance to work by getting rid of the "are you a felon" box on job applications. We talked about the effect of Local Elections on the health and safety of families.
Personally, this episode has helped me redefine the course of my life as I've started an organization with a formerly incarcerated individual to become whole free men. Thank you David Walker.
