Desmond Meade was one of the main people behind Constitutional Amendment 4 that restores voting rights for felons who have fulfilled their sentences. Time Magazine honored Desmond by including him in its list of 2019’s most influential people. Desmond said in response, “This is an unexpected honor that I believe speaks to the power of committing to being of service to others, and the power of love to transform conditions and people.” 

 

Desmond’s philosophy is a model for our FLVCS efforts—service to others and working for peace.
