From The Flint Courier News:

MICHIGAN – Voting Access for all Coalition (VAAC) launched a new video series to inspire voters to cast ballots to reform the criminal legal system in Michigan. The series of two compilation videos and seven shorter individual videos can be viewed at votingaccessforall.org and on social media via dozens of advocacy partner organizations.

“I was excited to participate in this project, to tell everyone why I am voting and to get others excited about voting. I want to inspire people to use their power,” said E.B. Jordan, a VAAC member that appears in one of the newly released videos.

Jordan added: “I spoke about voting to support candidates who know that housing is a critical need once people are released from incarceration. But there are many reasons for us to use our power to protect and improve our lives and communities.”
