Racial Justice Summit

February 28 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Voting rights for #BIPOC communities have consistently been under attack. These attacks ranged from poll taxes and tests in the Jim Crow south, to modern methods such as voter registration obstacles, voter ID laws, and decreasing early voting ballot drop boxes in communities.

Join us for the panel Take it to the Polls at our #RacialJustice Summit. Marcia Johnson-Blanco (Co-Director of Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law), Lou Ann Blake (Director of Research Programs at National Federation of the Blind), Sakira Cook (Vice President of Campaigns, Policy, and Government Affairs at Color Of Change), and Barbara R. Arnwine, Esq (President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition) will dive into tactics to combat voter suppression.
