The Smart Justice Fellowship aims to provide a cohort of 10 fellows with the training needed to become leaders among the 55,000-plus Minnesotans who regained their right to vote after the Restore the Vote bill was signed into law by Gov. Walz on March 3, 2023.

After fighting for years for the right to vote, two Minnesotans went into court to prevent that right from being yanked out from underneath them and over 50,000 other Minnesotans. Today, the Anoka County District Court upheld their right to vote.
