      Description:<\/b> At 12-years-old, Represent Justice ambassador @FernandoBermudezFree had an after school routine. When his last class was over, he\u2019d head down to the subway with his friends and markers in tow, and spend his afternoon writing in the tunnels. It was like art class, and he wasn\u2019t alone.\u00a0 He was part of a phenomenon of Black and Brown youth in the five boroughs making themselves visible through public art when the rest of society tried to render them invisible.
      \n\u201cIt was a way of self-expression in the ghetto. A way to become known, to become popular,\u201d Fernando said.
      \nBut after spending 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Fernando suppressed his talents, partially out of fear of getting in trouble.
      \nThese last few months of sheltering in place have allowed Fernando to reconnect with his artistic practice, and channel his emotions through graffiti. That\u2019s why he created this piece for #FreeOurVote.
      \nHis piece explores what it means to be disenfranchised. He traces the roots of mass incarceration and reminds us that November\u2019s election is the first step toward building a fairer justice system.
      \nThrough his art, he outlines the rise of the prison industrial complex, and how the rapid expansion of prisons and policing \u2014 which disproportionately impact Black and Brown communities \u2014 takes decades away from people\u2019s lives. With an officer blocking access to a ballot box, Fernando shows how the ramifications of incarceration last long after a person is released. And we know this to be true, since more than 6.1 million Americans have lost the right to vote because of a felony conviction.
      \n\u201cWe need to vote for more people, but we also need to pass laws to get more to vote,\u201d Fernando said. \u201cWe need to free our vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
