for this virtual event
Ahead of the midterms, efforts to interfere with voting are in full swing. The implications are serious, especially for Latino and Black communities.
Our democracy is under attack from people wrongly claiming that the 2020 election was somehow “stolen.” State lawmakers are responding to those false claims with legislation that restricts the right to vote and undermines the election process itself. Add to that the growing problem of disinformation, which sometimes targets specific racial or ethnic groups. Join the Brennan Center and Brennan en español for a conversation about what these issues mean for the 2022 elections and beyond.
The discussion was held at a recent convention of the national associations of Black and Latino journalists. This premiere YouTube stream will be available in English and Spanish. The English language stream will include a live text chat Q&A with Brennan Center election expert Sean Morales-Doyle, and the Spanish language stream will include a live text chat Q&A with Roberta Braga of the Equis Institute.
Produced in partnership with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists
Speakers: Sean Morales-Doyle, Director, Brennan Center Voting Rights Program // Esosa Osa, Deputy Executive Director, Fair Fight Action // Roberta Braga, Director of Counter-Disinformation Strategies, Equis Institute // Moderator: Carolina Peguero, Reporter/Anchor, Noticias Univision 24/7

With roughly 2 million people behind bars, America’s prison system doesn’t exactly have a reputation for empathy — but could that change? Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Bill Keller has spent years examining what is possible if prisons focus on preparing the incarcerated to be good citizens when they return to society, which the overwhelming majority will.
In his new book, What’s Prison For? Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration

, he shows us how we can reform our prisons and why there’s a reason for cautious optimism. Rehabilitation, he argues, is not only an investment in public safety but a moral imperative.
Produced in partnership with New York University’s John Brademas Center
Speakers: Bill Keller, Founding Editor, The Marshall Project; Former Executive Editor, The New York Times; Author, What’s Prison For? Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration // Moderator: Jason D. Williamson, Executive Director, Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law, NYU Law
