Dear John,

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us for yesterday’s webinar, Implications of the Great Replacement Theory. It was an insightful and informative discussion, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with such a thoughtful audience.

Each panelist spoke to the importance and urgency of this issue and shared their expertise and experiences surrounding the Great Replacement Theory and its attempts to marginalize the voice of minority groups.

Texas State Representative Ron Reynolds, who served as House Minority Whip, touched on his on-the-ground campaign experience and the impact the Great Replacement Theory has had on access to voting for people of color and minority communities. Leslie Proll, Senior Program Director of Voting Rights at the Leadership Conference on Human Rights, currently helps lead the national voting rights coalition and spoke on the importance of empowering and advocating for minority communities along with the development and passing of civil rights legislation. American University Professor Sarah Trembath shared her perspective as an educator who focuses on culturally biased education and the necessity of critical thinking and media literacy skills – major components of a healthy and vibrant democracy. 

Our goal was to provide you with insight into concerted efforts being made to minimize the voice of minority communities at the ballot box and how to counter them. Given that, we hope you found the discussion to be engaging and thought-provoking, and that it inspired further reflection and conversation.
