Most of us have been painfully aware of the history of racism in our electoral system. In this Table Talk we will briefly trace that history so that we understand the disparities and injustices that still exist today AND are emboldened to get involved this election season to make our voting process fair and just for all. Michele Sbrana and Kim Schenk will be hosting along with a special guest host, Lorrie Narcisse, former Campaign Organizer, Legal Assistant and certified history buff! As usual, our esteemed panelists will help guide us. They are:
Angela Lang: Executive Director of BLOC, Wisconsin , VP of the Board, ACLU Wisconsin
Debbie O'Brien Krackeler: Founder and Board member of Citizens for the Vote
Mohan Seshadri: Executive Director of the Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance
Holly Taines: Director of Development of The Voter Formation Project
Also, please note: we’ll be hosting a special “Cast Your Vote For Justice” event in September with even more specifics on how you can work for meaningful change in your own community.
