New attacks on voting rights are cropping up all over the United States. Leading the pack is the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on April 10th, which, among other things, would negatively impact the voting rights of women and people of color. This dual threat to our right to vote is the perfect example of the multiple ways our freedoms are attacked. WE CAN fight this and related attacks by learning about their tactics and organizing at the local, state, and national levels.

Join WE CAN to learn tactics being used nationwide to suppress the vote. On Friday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm ET, we will screen a film about voter suppression and engage in a discussion to learn how we can fight back!

Our votes hold power; otherwise, they wouldn’t try so hard to prevent us from voting! 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.
