The Lawrence and Lynne Brown Democracy Medal, presented by the
McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State, recognizes
outstanding individuals, groups, and organizations that produce
innovations to further democracy in the United States or around the
world. Voting is foundational in a democracy, yet over six million
American citizens remain stripped of their ability to participate
in elections. Once convicted of a felony, people who complete their
sentences reenter society, but no longer with the civil rights they
once had. They may return to school, secure employment to provide
for their families, and become law-abiding, tax-paying
citizens-sometimes for decades-and still be denied the voting
rights afforded to every other citizen. Desmond Meade, director of
the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a returning citizen
himself, played an instrumental role in the landslide 2018
Amendment 4 victory in Florida, which used the ballot box to
restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians with a previous
felony conviction. Meade argues how, state by state, America can do
better. His efforts in Florida present a compelling argument that
creating access to democracy for those living on the fringes of
society will create a more vibrant and robust democracy for all. He
is the winner of the 2021 Brown Democracy Medal for his continuing
work to restore voting rights and connect Americans along shared
social values. -- Cornell University Press
