From the Brennan Center:

The Brennan Center’s DeNora Getachew sat down with New York City Council Speaker, Melissa Mark-Viverito, to discuss the city’s progress on voting rights, efforts to expand access to the ballot and address disparities in the criminal justice system.

About the Brennan Center:

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving Constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.
