IPAT Client, Director of “Let My People Vote,” Celebrates Passage of Amendment 4 in Florida

Congratulations to IPAT Clinic client Gilda Brasch, who for two years has been documenting the fight to restore ex-felons’ voting rights in Florida for her film Let My People Vote. On Tuesday, the voters of Florida passed Amendment 4 by a 64%-35% margin, restoring voting rights to well over a million individuals who have completed their sentences. Brasch’s film follows Desmond Meade, Executive Director for the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, as he struggles to help people vote only to find that they have had their voting rights taken away. In the months since her film premiered, Brasch has been to Florida numerous times as the campaign to restore voting rights gathered steam. “I so appreciate the help of the Clinic’s filmmaker counseling team,” an overjoyed Brasch writes. “And I may be calling you again, because now I have to update the ending of the film.”
