PFAW Member,
The coronavirus pandemic doesn’t just threaten our health and our economy, it’s a dire threat to our DEMOCRACY as well.
Right-wing politicians are eager to use this crisis to suppress the vote, and election security and access are both imperiled by the very legitimate need to combat the virus by maintaining social distancing.
Our Secure Our Vote Coalition is hosting an urgent “Voting in the Time of COVID” virtual town hall meeting on Zoom this Thursday evening and we hope you’ll reserve your spot by signing up now.
Register now for the virtual town hall, this Thursday, April 30 at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT>>
We are excited to invite you to this important, expert-led discussion about what voting looks like during COVID-19 and the need for real solutions to ensure that voters are able to cast ballots that count in this year’s critical elections.
The call will cover how to make sure voters have a variety of options including, but not limited to, vote by mail and early voting. And our panel will update you on the fight to secure crucial billions in congressional funding for election security and voting access, as part of the federal relief effort.
Specifically, our experts from Vote at Home and Verified Voting will talk through the following and answer your questions:
How vote by mail and early vote could help make our elections safer
Challenges and opportunities to expanding use of vote by mail
-
Security concerns we should pay attention to as states make major changes in voting in response to the pandemic
The dangers of internet voting in the 2020 election
Tomorrow night, please join the Secure Our Vote Coalition with guest speakers Audrey Kline, National Policy Director of the National Vote at Home Institute and Marian Schneider, President of Verified Voting.
If you'll be calling in by phone only, please send your questions in advance to [email protected]. If you'll be using the Zoom online interface, you'll be able to post your questions during the event.
Thank you for all you do!
-- Ben Betz, Director of Digital and Organizing
