Town Hall: Voting Rights

Virtual event- from your home

Join the ERA Coalition and Fund for Women's Equality for a virtual discussion on the future of voting rights in the United States. We'll talk to leaders and advocates at the forefront of the fight to protect and expand access to the franchise, and learn more about what we can all do to protect our most basic building block of democracy.

Featured speakers:

+ Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL), lead sponsor of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
+ Maria Teresa Kumar, CEO of Voto Latino
+ Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, President and CEO, Center for Global Policy Solutions and former Chair, Maryland Democratic Party
+ Melanie L. Campbell, President and CEO, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and Convener, Black Women's Roundtable

Our work to see the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is at the root of our commitment to equality, racial justice, reproductive rights and justice, equal pay, and other issues; and we think voting rights are critical to all of this. It is the most fundamental of all our rights, and really underscores everything else.
