VOTE (Voice of the Experienced) was part of a broad coalition that helped mobilize voters in Louisiana, contributing to the defeat of controversial constitutional amendments championed by Governor Landry. This grassroots effort underscored the commitment of the organization toward empowering disenfranchised communities and resisting authoritarian policies.

VOTE (Voice of the Experienced) aligns with research highlighting that restoring voting rights can improve public safety and facilitate community reintegration for former felons. The policy brief from The Sentencing Project outlines how enfranchisement is linked to reduced recidivism and strengthens democratic participation, an initiative closely supported by the organization's mission.

A new report from The Sentencing Project highlights how restoring voting rights for people with felony convictions can improve public safety and community integration. This aligns with VOTE (Voice of the Experienced)'s mission to promote political inclusion for justice-impacted individuals by advocating for fair voting rights, thereby countering exclusionary and authoritarian practices.

VOTE issued a public statement and provided testimony against the NOLA Coalition's plan to expand police surveillance in New Orleans. In the statement, they condemned the use of repressive surveillance technologies and affirmed the need to invest in social services and youth support rather than increasing state control.

VOTE (Voice of the Experienced) joined a coalition of 34 organizations in signing a letter urging New Orleans City Council to pass an ordinance limiting the use of surveillance technology. The letter highlighted how unchecked surveillance disproportionately impacts marginalized communities and undermines public trust.
