This is a three-lecture series June 24 + July 1 + July 8.
Here are the details: Since the nation's beginning, the right to vote in America has been controlled by powerful white men and used as a weapon against racial minorities, women, younger, and lower-income Americans. We as a nation have made progress, but the struggle continues and it is fierce as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. What is the role of the federal government? What are the state laws that hinder or advance voting rights? In these three lectures, we'll look back in time, forward in time, and discuss pathways to action to overcome voter suppression. There are five levels of registration for these lectures, starting at FREE and working their way up (the content is the same across the levels; the different price points are merely for you to pick the one you wish!). The lectures will be on Zoom live at 7 pm Pacific time on the dates AND recorded for folks to watch on your own timing, via Zoom or Youtube. Registrants will receive viewing instructions one day in advance of each lecture and then two hours before each lecture, via email.
