State voter suppression laws, hyperpartisan racial gerrymandering, extreme actors taking control of election administration, and the Supreme Court’s recent decisions are threatening
our democracy and laying the foundation for minority rule. In January, the Senate sidelined federal voting rights legislation that would have addressed these attacks, choosing to protect the filibuster over the right of millions of Americans to cast their
vote and have it counted. Voters of color, young voters, rural voters, physically challenged voters, and poor voters are particularly impacted.
NACDD
is proud to co-sponsor a conversation with Ari Berman, senior reporter at Mother Jones and author of the award-winning book,
Give Us the Ballot. We’ll discuss how we got here, what’s at stake, and how “we the people” can protect American democracy at this crucial moment.
Join
NACDD and the Workers Circle for this important conversation on Wednesday, February 23 from 7:00-8:00 PM ET. Immediately following the conversation, there will be a live call-in to the Senate.
