Being a good citizen means more than just voting. It means serving. We will lose our democracy if more citizens don’t step up and volunteer. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Arts Council, the Parks department, planning, zoning, city council, school board… just serve. It’s your duty as a good citizen.

After nearly 13 hours of a marathon hearing in Austin last week, I was able to present oral and written testimony in support of Texas' Countywide Polling Place Program and encourage legislators to keep this critical voting measure in place. My testimony focused on the critical impact the Countywide Polling has for voters with accessibility needs and voters of color, who traditionally face longer lines and wait times to cast a ballot.   Year after year, voter turnout at the polls is significantly impacted by the distance to the nearest polling center and the methods of transportation available to voters --Just a quarter-mile increase in distance to the nearest polling center has been shown to translate to a one to three percentage point decrease in voter turnout. Given that 1 in 20 households in Texas does not possess a personal vehicle and more than 3.5 million Texans lack access to public transportation, any increase in wait times or travel distance will have a significant disenfranchising effect on a large segment of Texans who are eager to vote but lack the means to travel to their polling location. This impact would fall even more heavily on Black communities where more than 1 in 10 households do not possess a vehicle and where one in five people is living below the poverty level and will struggle to arrange alternative paid transportation. #votingrights #texas #voterturnout

Challenges facing states States face complex challenges in their efforts to protect public safety, reduce recidivism, respond to the unique needs of justice-involved individuals returning to communities from jail and prison, and improve services for victims of crime. State policymakers are concerned about upticks in violent crime, high rates of recidivism, increases in overdose deaths, rebounding prison populations, and the need for quality mental health services. Public policy responses tested throughout the country, however, show there are effective ways to understand and address these concerns while ensuring public safety. JRI solution Through the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), state leaders work with experts to conduct agency-spanning data analysis; develop and implement data-driven, tailored solutions to address complicated criminal justice challenges; and maximize resources to achieve stronger and safer communities.
