Dear Friends,

We are pretty excited about next week's episode of NDN Talks - an expanded discussion about the GOP’s savage attacks on voting in America with Ari Berman, arguably the leading expert on these issues in the country today. 

We will be sitting down with Ari on Tuesday February 23rd at 1pm. Register here and learn more about Ari and his vital work below.  Feel free to invite friends and colleagues too - all are welcome!

If you can't make it and would like to watch the interview later, we'll be posting it here shortly after the event.  Be sure to check out our growing library of interviews in the NDN Talks series, and if you are to read one thing to prep for our talk with Ari, read his new essay in Mother Jones, "The Insurrection Was Put Down. The GOP Plan for Minority Rule Marches On."

Best, Simon, Georgia and the rest of the NDN team
