Suppressed and Sabotaged – The Fight to Vote!

October 8 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Join us for a powerful screening of the documentary “SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED: The Fight to Vote”—a critical exploration of voter suppression and election subversion in the United States. Produced by Brave New Films, this 30-minute film is a rallying call for all concerned Americans as we approach the November 2024 elections.

“SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED” sheds light on the growing wave of efforts to disenfranchise voters across the country, using the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp as a case study. The documentary features personal stories from individuals in battleground states who are disproportionately affected by voter suppression, including older adults, first-time and younger voters, Black, Indigenous, Latin, people of color, and people with disabilities.

In 2023 alone, over 150 bills were introduced to restrict voting access, making this documentary more relevant than ever. This film not only exposes the unconstitutional and racist tactics used to undermine democracy but also serves as a tool for mobilizing action to protect our right to vote.

Join us to watch this compelling film and engage in a discussion on how we can stand against these calculated attacks on our democracy.
