[please stand by] >> in california, and throughout the united states, we have seen a genocidal history with our native and indigenous communities, which is included exportation and a loss of land, culture, and language. this history was made possible by the state laws and policies. this city was built on that history and those policies. we need to atone for this harm. there is no simple solution to undo this pain. this will take continued organizing and work on behalf of our board, working hand-in-hand with our local community. we need to acknowledge and address our past harm for a more hopeful future, and we also need better policies and funding to combat deep disparities in housing, heal

this resolution is supported by my colleagues walton, mar, brown, mandelman ronen and fewer. it was co-authored by many colleagues as well as our isn't that true senator wiener. i want to give a brief background and turn it over to our experts who have been leading this fight of that. california law permits an individual who is a united states citizen, a resident of california, and at least 18 years of age at the time of the next election to register to vote. it also allows otherwise eligible individuals to pre-register to vote at age 16 or 17. however, an exception to this law is people serving in state or federal prison or on parole for a felony are prohibited from voting. this will amend sections 2 and 4 to restore voting rights to individuals upon the completion of their prison term. by eliminating an arbitrary barrier to voting, this will align california with 18 other states and washington, d.c., which have restored voting rights on release of prison or have laws in place at all. the ban the box legislation and san francisco's ban the box ordinance help formerly incarce
