The Voting Access for All Coalition (VAAC) gives a voice to those impacted by the Criminal Legal System.  

VAAC is a statewide, nonpartisan nonprofit coalition working to eliminate barriers to democracy for Michigan’s most impacted residents. Our mission is to ensure that everyone—especially individuals affected by incarceration, housing insecurity, poverty, and systemic exclusion—can access their right to vote, advocate for change, and lead within their communities.

We are organizers, advocates, educators, and directly impacted leaders committed to building a world where civic belonging is a right, not a privilege. Founded on the belief that democracy must include everyone, VAAC centers people who have been historically excluded. Our work is powered by people with lived experience in the criminal legal system, housing instability, and disenfranchisement.
