Voting Rights Panel

This event includes discussion about the past, present and future of voting rights in the US. We will have someone who can speak to the history of voting rights, as well as what we can do to make the system better. We will be having a lawyer who works in voting rights to provide students with an understanding of what type of advocacy they can do within their own field, but we want to hear from people with different areas of expertise as well.

List of speakers : Professor Cobb, Suffolk; Professor Stewart, MIT; Attorney Brooke Simone, Lawyers for Civil Rights, a representative from MassVote (another non-partisan organization). 

We are co-sponsoring with the Boston College Law Democrats. I consulted with Meghan Paulas and Robert Williams about this partnership and the non-partisan nature of the event.
