SUMMARY:Protecting the Vote: How You Can Help Keep Elections Safe
DESCRIPTION:Every week there’s a new headline about some plan or policy meant to undermine our elections and place limits on who gets to vote. Election security is a real concern in 2026\, but we’re not powerless here. There are people doing real work to protect the vote\, and you can be one of them! Join us to hear from Chynna Baldwin of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Chynna will talk about the threats facing our elections\, but also the work being done to protect the right to vote — and how you can be part of it. You have a role to play too: talking to friends\, making sure people know their rights\, and pointing them to help when they need it. Learn about the resources offered by the Election Protection Hotline and how you can get involved to make a difference in your community.
