Journeys Towards Justice – Voting Rights (virtual)
Voting is a fundamental right in the United States, but voter suppression is still a very real threat in communities of color and socio-economically disadvantaged areas. Representatives from the Andrew Goodman Foundation and NAACP Legal Defense Fund Voting Rights Project will talk about their work to prevent discrimination and preserve the fundamental right to vote.
Journeys Toward Justice is a multi-college collaboration spotlighting changemakers across the country who are driving justice and equity forward. The goal is to connect students, partners, and communities with one another and help us all understand the local and historical contexts of universal social justice issues and the work communities are doing. Co-organizers of this series include: Brown University, Campus Compact, Duke University, Harvard College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Stanford University, University of California – Berkeley, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Richmond, University of San Francisco, Tulane University, and Yale University.
This session is co-sponsored by the Phillips Brooks House, Harvard University and the Mario Savio Social Justice Program at the Public Service Center, UC Berkeley.
