The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2022 webinar series features experts with frontline election experience to walk through every step of voter and candidate engagement activities and support housing organizations’ nonpartisan election efforts. The next webinar, “Overcoming Voter Suppression,” will be held today (Monday, October 3) at 2:30 pm ET. Register for the webinar series here.
Pervasive voter suppression has disenfranchised people of color and other underrepresented groups throughout American history. Today, people of color, returning citizens, people with disabilities, older adults, English language learners, and members of other marginalized communities face disproportionate barriers to voting. Advocates and activists in communities most affected by voter suppression are challenging these obstacles and promoting access to the ballot. The panel will feature Kelly Sue Waller and Stephanie Isaacs, organizers at the Bedford County Listening Project; Lilian Aluri, voting campaign coordinator at REV UP; and Allison Neswood, staff attorney at the Native American Rights Fund.
Our Homes, Our Votes webinars will be held on a biweekly basis until the week that follows the 2022 midterm elections. View the full schedule for the webinar series here.
