The focus of this workshop is voting, specifically looking at the history of voting rights as well as dissecting what’s on the ballot for the upcoming election. This is a standalone workshop that we hope will provide a safe space to talk about the history and intentions that inform what is in your vote. As a community, whether we are able to vote or not, we find it important to best understand what is approaching in the next two months.

Topics

I. Timeline of Voting Rights
II. History of Disenfranchisement
III. What’s on the ballot?
