Voter Suppression: What is it, How to recognize it, What to do about it.:
The two panelists will discuss the practical implications of voter suppression tactics and how they are targeted specifically to disempower the most vulnerable groups, specifically African Americans and Hispanics, and other groups expected to vote progressive. An ongoing lawsuit regarding the disenfranchisement attacks on Native Americans affecting Arizona will illuminate existing efforts to minimize indigenous rights. Our role in recognizing and stopping these attacks is important to understand and act on.
