As we commemorate two monumental anniversaries—60 years since the March on Washington and the passage of the Civil Rights Act—it’s clear that the fight for voting rights remains as vital as ever. With the United States approaching a pivotal election, we invite you to join us for “What’s Next for Voting?: Still Marching Toward the Mountaintop,” a hybrid event dedicated to renewing our commitment to safeguarding voting rights.
This event is not just a gathering; it’s a call to action. Together, we’ll reflect on the progress made since the March on Washington, examine efforts in Minnesota and beyond to expand voting access, and confront the challenges we still face, including voter suppression, apathy, and misinformation.
The event consists of a panel discussion and Q&A, followed by a working lunch with facilitated conversation among guests, and concludes with actionable strategies allowing you to make a real impact in your community.
This is a hybrid event and you have the option to attend in person or to join on Zoom.
