FCNL and Friends have long advocated for equitable access to the ballot box. We believe our democracy—like Quaker faith—needs all our voices to thrive.
The right to vote is under attack. In the United States today, far too many people—especially people of color—are facing restrictions and barriers to their voting rights, reminiscent of the Jim Crow days. As state legislatures continue to enact voter suppression laws, Congress stalls the national voting rights debate, and the midterm elections approach, how can we ensure everyone’s vote counts?
FCNL’s Director for Justice Reform José Woss and local voting rights advocate and MSW student Jaycee Brown will dialogue on their efforts to expand access to the ballot box through policy advocacy and local organizing. FCNL’s Bobby Trice will moderate the conversation.
