This is a two-lecture series, Monday May 10 + Tuesday May 11. Overview: The 2020 election has brought America to a defining crossroads in the fight for voting rights for all. The expansion of voting mechanisms due to Covid, the successes of the Democratic Party, and the record voter turnouts nationally, especially among African Americans, were unacceptable to the Republican Party, which has built its success since the 1960s on voter suppression. Donald Trump and GOP allies responded with an attempt to overthrow the election, and now in spring 2021 Republicans are pursuing legislation across the country that would make it harder for all Americans, and especially Democratic constituencies, to vote. The good news is that Democrats and progressive organizations are fully engaged, and we have a clear, significant role to play. These lectures lay out the pathways we must take right now in the fight to vote in America.
Note: this lecture series will be 80% a repeat of the same series I delivered in March, 20% updated and new based on the unfolding developments with HR1/S1 in Congress and the bills in state legislatures. Lectures both (a) will occur live at 5 pm PDT on May 10 and May 11 via Zoom, and (b) will be recorded for everyone to watch on your own timing. Registrants will receive viewing instructions one day in advance of each lecture and then one hour before each lecture. 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!
