Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Desmond Meade" in Portuguese language version.
Florida was one of just three remaining states — the others being Iowa and Kentucky — that prevented people with felony records from voting.
As president and founder of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, launched in the early 2010s after nearly a decade of organizing work by the Florida ACLU, the Brennan Center and the Sentencing Project around restoring voting rights to former felons they prefer to call "returning citizens," Meade led one of the most impressive grassroots petition drives in state history.
