Tomorrow Night: Join The Village Square and Leon County for Created Equal: A Conversation about Race in our Elections | Thursday, May 26, 5:30 pm at The Moon
Are elections fair and secure for everyone? Should we be doing more?
Join an insightful and interesting conversation that examines how national and statewide perspectives on voting access and security impact our hometown of Tallahassee. As a cornerstone of American Democracy, there is a fundamental link between trust in election infrastructure and equal access to the ballot box.
In recent years, more than 400 voter security bills have been introduced in 48 states. Yet according to experts, measures such as strict voter ID laws, restricted registration, and narrowed voting times disproportionately impact people of color, students, the elderly, and people with disabilities. This year’s Created Equal program will address this question by connecting academic experts, community members, and advocates to look at voter security and the right for all people to vote.
Meet our panelists: Dr. Sharon Austin of the University of Florida, Dr. Michael Morley of Florida State University, and Dr. Keith Parker of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, and our moderator Tom Flanigan of WFSU Public Media.
Join the discussion at the 7th Annual Created Equal TOMORROW NIGHT, May 26 at The Moon, 1105 E Lafayette St. Pizza, salad, and drinks will be provided at 5:30 p.m. The panel discussion will begin at 6 p.m., followed by table conversations among attendees. Register to reserve your free seat to join us.
