Amicus Brief to the Inter American Court of Human Rights on Felony Disenfranchisement

Date

Campaign Legal Center submitted a brief to the Inter American Court of Human Rights in support of a petition challenging the United States' felony disenfranchisement laws. Our brief explains to the court how the practice of prison gerrymandering exacerbates political exclusion based on contact with the criminal legal system. We argue that these practices were designed to discriminate based on race and continue to have that impact.
