“We are committed to making sure our efforts to help returning citizens in Florida become full members of society are not infected by partisan politics. At the core of our mission and our Fines and Fees Program is the belief that all returning citizens – from all walks of life and political persuasions – should have access to our Democracy, if they choose.

We have been openly, honestly and legally working with local clerks to clear fines and fees for returning citizens since 2019. That includes payments to clerks offices in the vast majority of Florida’s 67 counties. We will continue to make decisions that center on the lives of returning citizens and do the work of building a more inclusive democracy in Florida.”



-Desmond Meade, FRRC Executive Director
