It was a day of shared purpose, where fifty-eight female PDLs stepped forward, each casting a vote that resonated with a hope for a future beyond these walls. Fifty-eight women, fifty-eight stories, fifty-eight votes, woven together in a tapestry of hope and resilience.
Today, we witness the quiet strength of voices, the votes of Persons Deprived of Liberty, a testament to the enduring power of civic participation. Each mark on the ballot was a silent prayer, a whispered wish for change, for understanding, for a chance at redemption.
Though their circumstances may be different, their right to shape the future remains. May this act of voting be a spark of dignity and a reminder that every voice, every vote, matters.
