SUMMARY:Unrigging the Rules for the Rising American Electorate: David Daley and Steve Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Rebecca Nagle\nProgram will air Thursday May 7th\, 7:00 PM PST \n\n\nRegister (for free) to watch this program’s debut\n\n\n\nWho holds America’s future in their hands? Who has the potential to dramatically reshape our political landscape\, just by exercising the right to vote? The past few years have seen an exciting infusion of political engagement from a diverse electorate as young people\, people of color\, and single women are mobilizing and making their voices heard. For every victory and milestone\, however\, there is an equally coordinated—if insidious—attempt to disenfranchise these citizens from turning out to vote. From polling station closures to gerrymandering\, from voter ID laws to the purging of voter rolls\, suppressive tactics are deliberate\, methodical\, and ubiquitous. \nWe’ll learn how to unrig the rules to ensure these rising new voices—and their votes—are counted\, with insights from bestselling authorities on voting rights: Steve Phillips\, founder of Democracy in Color and author of Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority\, and David Daley\, author of Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy and the 2016 bestseller Ratf***ed: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count\, which has become an urgent reference point for the upcoming post-census round of redistricting. Moderated by indigenous activist and journalist Rebecca Nagle\, whose groundbreaking podcast\, This Land\, won the prestigious American Mosaic Journalism Prize. \nOur series on Voting Rights has been generously supported by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria\, Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation\, Guy and Jeanine Saperstein\, and Mal Warwick Donordigital. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Daley\, Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy\nSteve Phillips\, Brown is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority \nOrder your copies from one of our independent bookstore partners
