HBT Tikkun Olam Zoom Program*

Many of us are deeply concerned about the increasing threats to our democratic institutions and the escalating tactics of voter suppression especially impacting low income and communities of color. 

Come to a presentation on what’s at stake and how to safeguard the right to vote across the nation.  Seasoned leaders of volunteer voting rights organizations discuss why states matter and action in the Senate to pass the  Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act now! 

Bring your questions and learn how we can join this fight for our democracy.

Guest Speakers

Susan Labandibar,  former Regional Organizing Coordinator of a large volunteer network

“Reach out to voting rights advocates in key states. Make it easy for them to call their Senators… to pass voting rights legislation!”

“In at least one recent report, the [U.S.] is labeled as a backsliding democracy because of a decline in fundamental checks and balances at the federal level, but also because individual states are making it harder for people to vote [that could] have serious implications…. in elections this year and in 2024.”
