Levell Strong
Template:TOCnestleft Levell Strong is a member of the Dream Defenders. Electoral Justice League Fellow Levell Strong is focused on Florida’s Amendment 4, which restores access to voting rights for people who have felony convictions. He is leading organizing efforts throughout south Florida, where he and his team of returning citizens has registered over 3,000 voters, collected 5,000 Amendment 4 pledge cards, got 50% of candidates to sign-on in support of Amendment 4 and engaged over 3,000 youth in schools. Nearly 1.68 million people in the state of Florida alone are restricted from voting, but Levell’s efforts with this campaign, demonstrate the vast political power of all Black people
