 more at https://www.letmevoteca.org/\n\nVoting is a cornerstone of our 
 democracy, and most people who are incarcerated in California jails have 
 the right to vote. \n\nThere are roughly 82,000 people in California’s 
 jails, and practically all of those individuals who are adult citizens have 
 the right to vote. However, people incarcerated in county jails still 
 experience a unique set of obstacles when they reach for the ballot box. 
 \n\nAs a result, many eligible adult citizens are locked out of the 
 democratic process purely because they are in jail. The good news is that 
 there are many strategies for community advocates, county elections 
 offices, and sheriffs to break down barriers to democracy for people in 
 county jails.\n\nThis empowering virtual training follows the release of an 
 exciting new resource – Voting in California Jails: A Community Toolkit. 
 This training will highlight key tools from the new toolkit, including 
 different models for jail voter registration and turnout as well as best 
 practices for doing voter engagement work in jails. \n\nOrganizers:\n\nACLU 
 of Northern California\nACLU of Southern California\nLeague of Women Voters 
 of California\n\nSupporting Partners:\n\nAlameda Public Defender’s
