3-30-26 Voting is an act of resistance

Speaker: Mallory Hudson

If voting didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try to make it harder to vote. Recent attempts to change our voting laws are intended to keep people from voting—especially people of color, women, trans folks, and disabled people. During this session, our speaker will discuss the impact of proposed voting laws on our most marginalized communities, the consequences of our electoral participation, and why voting is more important now than ever. 

Spoiler: it is directly related to the rise in authoritarianism.

What happens next is up to us. Our communities are strongest when all of us show up, speak out and refuse to be intimidated.
