"Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote"
This Racial Justice Film Series event is presented by Eliot Unitarian Chapel and Women’s Voices Raised for Social Justice.
Our votes hold power, otherwise they wouldn’t subvert them. The Brave New Films documentary, ‘SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED 2024: The Fight to Vote’ alerts every concerned American, sounding the alarm on voter suppression and election subversion ahead of November 2024. This 30-minute documentary focuses on the swelling wave of efforts to disenfranchise voters across the U.S., with the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp providing a case study for understanding today’s restrictive measures, including 150 bills introduced in 2023 to restrict voting access.
SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED includes the personal stories of folks in battleground states who represent those disproportionately affected by voter suppression: older adults, first-time, younger and college-aged students, Black, Indigenous, Latine, people of color, and people with disabilities. This powerful film is a rallying call against the calculated, unconstitutional, and racist attacks intended to destroy democracy in the United States. If our votes didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying to suppress them!
Following the film there will be a discussion and Q & A with Election Law attorneys, Loretta Haggard, Christopher Grant and Sally Barker of the labor and employment law firm Schuchat, Cook & Werner.
Join us for this critically important film to learn how voter suppression works today and what you can do to stop it. PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SEAT at womensvoicesraised.org/upcoming-activities/#fighttovote
