Election workers are unsung heroes, working behind the scenes to ensure that our elections run smoothly and securely. Yet many people don’t fully grasp what their job entails, leaving room for election deniers to spread misinformation. This lack of understanding has fueled a disturbing rise in threats, intimidation, and abuse against election officials since 2020.

Join us for a live virtual event that will spotlight these essential but often overlooked professionals. The discussion will offer a unique opportunity to hear firsthand from the people who make our elections possible as they share their day-to-day challenges and the role that they play in protecting democracy.

Speakers: Adrian Fontes, Secretary of State, Arizona // Brenda Cabrera, Former Director of Elections, Fairfax, Virginia // Brianna Lennon, County Clerk, Boone County, Missouri // Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Former Secretary of State, West Virginia
