DESCRIPTION:Democracy on the Ropes: Fighting Voter Suppression Against BIPOC 
 Communities\n\nApril 7, 2021 at 4 PM PT (7 PM ET)\n\nRegister: 
 https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/381890/\n\nIn the last six 
 months, 47 state legislatures have advanced 361 pieces of legislation that 
 make it harder to vote. With state legislatures also introducing 85 bills 
 to criminalize the freedom of assembly and restrict First Amendment rights, 
 it is clear there is an intentional move to silence Black and Brown 
 communities. It is clear there that this dual attack aims to silence Black 
 Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) who built power in the streets and in 
 the voting booth in 2020.\n\nBut, communities across the country are 
 fighting back.  Learn how during our special event, Democracy on the Ropes. 
 Occurring during the National #ForThePeople Week of Action, the special 
 conversation with voting rights and racial justice leaders will uplift the 
 intersections of voter suppression and the criminalization of protest. 
 \n\nJoin us to learn about the organizing strategies, litigation and tools 
 organizers, election administrators and legal experts are using to combat 
 this attack on democracy.\n\nPANEL:\n\n--Ari Berman, National Voting Rights 
 Journalist, Author of "Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting 
 Rights in America"\n\n--Kathy Boockvar, Former Secretary of State of 
 Pennsylvania\n\n--Nse Ufot, Executive Director of New Georgia 
 Project\n\n--Rachel Gilmer, Co-Director of Dream Defenders \n\n--Thomas 
 Harvey, Justice Project Director for Advancement Project National 
 Office\n\n--MODERATOR: Judith Browne Dianis, Executive Director of
