NEWS NBA superstar LeBron James continues to do the unthinkable and lead the way for positive change. King James More Than A Vote group is determined to help fight to register Florida voters with a felony background by paying courts debts and fees ahead of the upcoming presidential election. LeBron James Helps Ex-Cons According to reports, LeBrons amazing cause will donate some serious money to help settle fees. Over the years, Florida has put an emphasis on making it ridiculously difficult for ex-felons to vote in elections. More Than A Vote, a group established by James and others in the wake of George Floyds death in Minneapolis, on Friday said it will donate $100,000 to help pay outstanding court debts of ex-felons so they can register to vote. The money will go to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, which in 2018 successfully pushed to a constitutional amendment that lifted Floridas lifetime voting ban on people with felony convictions. After the amendment passed, the Republican-led state Legislature earlier this year raised the bar for felons to vote, passing a law that is being challenged in federal court. ( Politico ) LeBron James helping ex-cons is just one example of why your vote really counts for massive, life-changing change. High-Key Details On Friday, James went to his social media pages to speak on his efforts to help Florida ex-cons. He also provided details on how people could get better informed of his cause. This is a fight about their constitutional right to vote being denied. Learn more about how you can help at https://floridarrc.com. @morethanavote https://politi.co/3jBGUOO -LeBron James Read more
