[image description: A group of hearts on the right each holding one ballot labeled, "VOTE," stand facing a heart on the left. The group of hearts all have angry and upset facial expressions and one of the hearts holds its ballot in a fist up in the air. On the ground between the group and the heart on the left is written the word "felony." The heart on the left has a stern facial expression and a palm up in the air in a gesture conveyed a barrier to entry. Behind the heart on the left is a large object with multiple labels: "POWER / DEFINITION OF CRIME / REPRESENTATION / DECISION MAKING." Text reads: "In 2016, half of the six million people who were stopped from voting in the U.S. by state felony bans had already completed their prison sentences."]
