Introduction In the United States, ex-felons face significant limitations of their civil rights, including the right to vote. To correct this situation, a serious advocating effort is needed. The main goal if this effort should be to persuade the state legislators to abolish disenfranchisement laws. Three objectives should be achieved to meet this goal: gaining popular support, refuting the arguments of the opposition, and proving the benefits of enfranchising ex-felons to the legislators. Statement of the Problem In the contemporary United States, ex-felons face significant limitations of their rights. Only two states, Maine and Vermont, allow ex-felons to vote. Other states prohibit all or some ex-felons to vote. In most states, pre-trial inmates and people kept in jail for misdemeanor offenses are disenfranchised (Manza & Uggen, 2004, p. 9-12). Additionally, ex-felons have limited access to employment, housing, and other opportunities, which undermines civic participation (Bowers & Preuhs, 2009). To initiate positive change, an advocacy effort is necessary. This effort can be led by counselors, who can use their competency in advocating social change (Toporek, Lewis, & Crethar, 2009, p. 260). Such activity is consistent with the ethical code of counselors (American Counseling Association, 2005, p. 5). However, to start an advocacy effort, a primary goal should be formulated, as well as specific objectives for meeting this goal. Objective: Make State Legislation Abolish Disenfranchisement Laws Advocacy activities are commonly intended to involve society in an effort to influence political decisions. Thus, to correct the disenfranchisement of ex-felons, an effort should be made to refute the legislation, according to which ex-felons have to be disenfranchised. One possible direction of such an effort is to make federal government abolish disenfranchisement laws. Nevertheless, applying to the federal government is complicated and may be ineffective due to the contradictions between the authorities of the federal and state governments. A far more effective way is to apply to state legislatures since it is they, who initiated the enactment of these laws, and they possess a power to abolish the laws immediately. Thus, the primary goal for advocating the enfranchisement of ex-felons is to persuade state governments to abolish the disenfranchisement laws. Next, strategic objectives should be established to make the abolition of the disenfranchisement legislation. Strategic Objectives to Meet the Objective To achieve the goal, the advocates should meet the following strategic objectives: spread the information via media to receive popular support, refute the arguments of the opposition, and convince the state legislators that giving civil rights to ex-inmates is beneficial for the society. The first step to achieving the goal is to raise popular awareness. Gaining popular support is highly essential since, for a majority, it is easier to change the mind of legislators than for a minority. In advocacy, the most efficient method to raise popular awareness is to launch a media campaign. Therefore, advocates need to raise a media campaign to attract the attention of the society to the problem of disenfranchisement of ex-felons. For this work, any activity in media is useful: writing and spreading posts in social webs, writing articles in the p
