Desmond is a transformational leader whose commitment to justice has impacted millions. Meade is the president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC) and chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy.


About Just Freedom

Just Freedom: Inside Florida's Decades-Long Voting Rights Battle tells the story of the fight to restore voting rights to people with past felony convictions in Florida. A seasoned journalist who has covered this story for many years, Daniel Rivero details the advocacy and action that led to the 2018 vote to amend the state constitution and give 1.4 million people the right to vote, and shows what went wrong in the years after. Just Freedom will raise questions and provoke conversations about the lasting hold of Jim Crow-era policies, the power of money, and the nature of the American criminal justice system.
