People convicted of felonies should be allowed to stay with their families in public housing, work various jobs, and travel to expand their horizons. But should they serve as President? forbes.com/sites/morgansimon…

That’s up to the American public. If Trump is eligible for the White House, we should consider opening opportunities for others with similar records too. #Equality #Justice #CriminalJusticeReform #PresidentialEligibility #jacksmith #onelawforall #reform #criminaljusticereform #34felonies

We are fighting for shareholder rights, “If @ExxonMobil succeeds in silencing voices and upending the rules of shareholder democracy, what other subjects will the leaders of any company make off limits? Worker safety? Excessive executive compensation?”

🔹 Why this matters:"When you own shares of stock in a publicly traded company, you have a vested interest in how that company is run. You have a right to have your concerns heard by corporate directors and executives." 3/10
