Samah Sisay is an attorney and an organizer with the group Survived and Punished which advocates for the rights of criminalized survivors. She joins us today from New York City to talk about the case of Tracy McCarter, a woman who will be tried for murdering her abusive estranged husband. A judge refused to allow a charge of
manslaughter, which prosecutors belated supported. During his campaign Manhattan’s district attorney promised not to prosecute abuse survivors but his record in office is different.

Across the United States, people with felony convcitions can have severely restricted access to the franchise and in some cases may be denied the right to vote forever. Blair Bowie is senior legal counsel and restore your vote manager at the campaign legal center. Which provides assistance through restoreyourvote.org. She joins us from Washington DC.
