WORRIED ABOUT VOTER SUPPRESSION?
6:30 PM
A dream team of voting rights advocates will join the New York Democratic Lawyers Council for a deep-dive into the story of the year: attacks on election officials, surreptitious new laws stripping away voters rights, and fraudulent audits of last year's presidential election.
Hear how best to fight back from our all-star panel:
• Marc Elias, one the country’s leading voting rights litigators
• Honorable Trey Martinez, who led the Texas House Democrats’ effort to stop passage of the country’s most restrictive voting laws
• Honorable Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State
• Jessica Amunson, the appellate lawyer who litigated the challenge to Arizona’s limits on out-of-district voting and absentee ballot delivery in the U.S. Supreme Court (Brnovich v. DNC)
• Fair Fight’s Research and Policy Director, Esosa Osa
