Voter suppression is happening in many states throughout the country. Voter purging and restrictive identification requirements are preventing voters from fully participating in our democracy, disproportionately affecting voters of color. There’s an active movement working in those states to silence people who were historically denied access to the ballot box.
The Equal Justice Society is co-hosting a Voter Mobilization & Protection Summit on April 4 together with California Civil Rights Coalition, New Georgia Project, SEIU 1021, She The People, Advancement Project (National Office), Advancement Project California, Indivisible East Bay, Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund, Free Speech for People, The Bar Association of San Francisco, and Transformative Justice Coalition.
