“Voting is not a privilege, it is the basic right that defines a citizen.” — A restoration of rights restores those rights which are lost in Virginia upon getting a felony conviction. These include the rights to vote, to run for and hold public office, to serve on juries and to serve as a Notary Public. On May 30, 2009, the Virginia Interfaith Center and the Virginia Organizing Project will host a community forum on The Restoration of Civil Rights for Former Felons. The forum will be held at the Union Train Station, located at 103 River Street in Petersburg from 1:00–4:00pm.
This will be a community forum that will educate and train lay members, ministers and community and civic leaders on how to assist those who want to apply for restoration of rights with the application process. There will be personnel at the forum who can provide hands on assistance with the application process.
