Our democracy is on the ropes.

In the last six months, 47 state legislatures have advanced 361 pieces of legislation that make it harder to vote. With state legislatures also introducing 85 bills to criminalize the freedom of assembly and restrict First Amendment rights, it is clear there is an intentional move to silence Black and Brown communities. It is clear there that this dual attack aims to silence Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) who built power in the streets and in the voting booth in 2020.

But, communities across the country are fighting back.

Learn how during our special event, Democracy on the Ropes on April 7, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. ET. Occurring during the National #ForthePeople Week of Action, the special conversation with voting rights and racial justice leaders will uplift the intersections of voter suppression and the criminalization of protest. Hear the organizing strategies, litigation and tools organizers, election administrators and legal experts are using to combat this attack on democracy.
