The group donated $100,000 for FRRC’s fines and fees fund, which pays off the outstanding debts convicts, who have served their time but are still unable to vote in Florida, reports CBS Los Angeles. “That’s why More Than A Vote is supporting the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition to help formerly incarcerated American citizens—too many of them Black and brown—pay off their outstanding fines and fees and register to vote in the 2020 election and beyond,” the group said on social media of their donation.
