JUSTUS15 MISSION STATEMENT
The JustUs15Vote initiative fights to dismantle all barriers preventing disenfranchised citizens from exercising their constitutional right to vote in connection with a felony conviction. Rooted in the 15th Amendment’s guarantee — prohibiting voter discrimination based on race, color, or previous servitude. We recognize that the struggles to uphold this right persist, with laws and practices still aiming to silence the voices of returning and returned citizens.
Our mission is the complete elimination of all voting restrictions for Nebraska citizens. Because citizens are required to be counted in the census and immediately pay taxes regardless of their status, citizens should never have the right to vote infringed. We believe that the path to reintegration, resocialization, and genuine inclusion demands equal access to this fundamental civic right. Even with the current law (LB 20), thousands upon thousands of Nebraska citizens that are incarcerated, serving sentences on probation and parole (4.4 million others nationwide) are currently prohibited from voting by law. This arbitrary practice prevents progress, promotes discrimination, and perpetuates second-class citizenship.

JustUs15Vote fights because:
It’s just us who are arbitrarily targeted by laws that serve no administrative or policy purposes. It’s just us who studies have demonstrated that voting is a pro-social behavior linked to reducing crime and increasing public safety.
It’s just us that must seek justice to remove all voting and disenfranchisement barriers to full civic engagement without delay.
