SUMMARY:Movies to Movements ~ Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote!
DESCRIPTION:Voting is a fundamental right in our democracy. Yet, there are forces working to prevent some of us from exercising our constitutional right to vote. Join WE CAN to learn tactics being used nationwide to suppress the vote. On Thursday, September 26th at 7:00 pm ET, we will screen a film about voter suppression and engage in a discussion with voting rights advocates to learn how we can fight back!\nOur votes hold power, otherwise they wouldn’t subvert them. Brave New Films’ ‘SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED: The Fight to Vote’ is a tool in the arsenal of every concerned American, sounding the alarm on voter suppression and election subversion ahead of November 2024. Our 30-minute documentary film focuses on the swelling wave of efforts to disenfranchise voters across the U.S., with the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp providing a case study for understanding today’s restrictive measures. In 2023 alone, 150 bills were introduced to restrict voting access. SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED includes the personal stories of folks in battleground states who represent those disproportionately affected by voter suppression: older adults, first-time, younger and college-aged students, Black, Indigenous, Latine, people of color, and people with disabilities. SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED 2024 is a rallying call against the calculated, unconstitutional, and racist attacks intended to destroy democracy in the United States.\n
