Summary


Join the League of Women Voters of Maine and the ACLU of Maine as we discuss updates to the Voting Rights Act.

We'll discuss the recent Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais that strikes down many of the protections in the 1964 Voting Rights Act, putting vulnerable communities at risk for targeted voter suppression here in Maine and across the country. We'll also discuss the merits of passing a Maine Voting Rights Act, and how you can get involved in protecting voting rights.
