Oswego, NY – A civil liberties group is working to raise awareness about the voting rights of people with criminal records.

The New York Civil Liberties Union has launched a campaign which features bus and train advertisements, public service announcements and a new web page, www.nyclu.org/vote.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with the Civil Liberty Union's Corinne Carey.

WRVO is at a critical moment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
