[Mass Incarceration\Voting Rights]
NY State Senator Kevin Parker: “When Senate Democrats were in the majority in 2010 we enacted fair, common-sense laws to have people in prison counted at their home addresses when redrawing state and local district lines. Today, my legislation builds upon this and the promise of equal protection and our democracy’s linchpin of one-person one-vote…As a professor of African-American Studies, I know all too well the horrid evolution of Black people in America: from the Transatlantic journey to the sharecropper; from the Black Codes to the mass incarceration and hyper-policing of communities of color.
