About this program:
Free and fair elections are a key part of America’s democratic processes, and in recent years, our ability to administer them is under threat. In the past few years, dozens of states have passed laws making it harder to vote. Voting rights organizations have challenged these laws and other threats to democratic elections, and many of those cases are now making their way through the court systems.
BADF will be joined by Trevor Potter, President of the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) to explore key questions about the election law landscape: What are the biggest potential changes to election laws making their way through legislatures and the courts this year? What trends in election law are promising for democracy, and what are some of the biggest threats? How do national organizations like CLC work alongside local and state players in the election reform and voting spaces? And what strategies are most critical to ensuring every eligible voter can meaningfully participate in democratic processes?
As with all BADF happy hours, there will be plenty of time for conversation with both our speaker and with your fellow funders. We hope to see you there!
