Our friends at the WA Voting Rights Restoration Coalition are excited to bring a lineup of mural installations across Washington to celebrate our state’s restoration of voting rights. They are organizing three events for the formerly incarcerated community to engage, register to vote, and kick off the election season. Join them for these vibrant events that combine art, activism, and civic engagement!
