05 AUGUST 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: Members of Black Lives Matter socially distance and wear masks during a celebration of the restoration of felons' voting rights. Black Lives Matter had a press conference in central Des Moines Wednesday to comment on the executive order issued by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds earlier Wednesday that restored voting rights felons who have completed their sentence and probation or parole. BLM has been protesting in Des Moines and meeting with the governor since early June in their effort to restore felons' voting rights. Until today, Iowa was the only state in the US that permanently stripped felons of their voting rights.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
