One thing the wealthier celebs could do...George Clooney could probably cover it all by himself, but really, some of the others-like Damon and Affleck-should pitch in it, would be to do this:

Go to Florida and pay the fines and court costs assigned to everyone convicted "felon" who is still being denied the restoration of the right to vote because they can't afford to pay those costs.

It's not political, it's just doing the decent thing: making sure that people who have already served their sentence and paid their "debt to society"-often on bogus or excessively exaggerated charges brought by prosecutors obsessed with preserving white supremacy at all costs- are not denied the right to vote that the voters of the State of Florida voted to restore to them.
