Supressed and Sabatoged (Video & Discussion), September 29, Noon-1:30PM

You are invited to gather and view the video “Suppressed and Sabotaged” (30 min) on Sept. 29, 12:00, at NUUC. Following the video, those who can stay a bit longer will help plan a Vote Forward Letter Writing Brunch at NUUC on Oct 6. Our votes are power, otherwise nefarious characters wouldn’t try to subvert them. The video “Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote” sounds the alarm on voter suppression and election subversion ahead of the Nov. election. The 30 min documentary focuses on the current wave of efforts to disenfranchise voters across the US, with the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race reviewed as a case study for understanding today’s voter suppression measures.  The video includes the personal stories of folks who represent those disproportionately affected by voter suppression (elderly, first time, college students, people of color, people with disabilities) The video is a rallying call against the calculated, unconstitutional, and racist attacks intended to destroy democracy in the U.S.
