Financed by a $50 million grant from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) plans to decrease the incarceration rate in the United States though the launch of a new eight-year political campaign. Focused on making criminal justice reform an issue at the local, state, and national level in upcoming elections, the campaign has seen significant bipartisan success, with major conservative funders, like the Koch brothers, and Alison Holcomb, leader of efforts to legalize marijuana in Washington state, joining forces.

 

The campaign plans to emphasize drug policy, mandatory sentences, and incarceration in the presidential election’s early primary states and to create a state-by-state database to reveal the crimes for which each prisoner is serving. While also targeting promoters of “overincarceration,” the aim of the ACLU campaign is to reduce the incarceration rate by 50 percent by the end of the campaign.

The ACLU has received funding from many charitable foundations, including such notables as the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Arca Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Columbia Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the JEHT Foundation, the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. Macarthur Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Lear Family Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, George Soros‘s Open Society Institute, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Sandler Family Supporting Foundation, the Scherman Foundation, the Tides Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Woods Fund of Chicago, the Arcus Foundation, the Hilda Mullen Foundation, the Lewis B. & Dorothy Cullman Foundation, the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, the San Francisco Foundation, and the Yellow Chair Foundation.

 

In December 2015, Loring Wirbel, a board member of the ACLU’s Colorado chapter and co-chair of the organization’s Colorado Springs chapter, wrote, on his Facebook page, the following about supporters of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump: “The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, ‘This is Goebbels [Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels]. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.’ They’re not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there’s always force …”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed an executive order granting convicted felons the right to vote, ending Iowa’s place as the only remaining state to broadly deny voting rights to felons.

 

The Republican governor signed the order Wednesday after promising in June that she would take such action.

 

Reynolds says she’ll continue to press the Legislature to pass a constitutional amendment restoring felon voting rights, which couldn't be reversed by a future governor. She proposed that last year but couldn’t get Republican state senators to support it.
