DESCRIPTION:Voting rights are under attack and the GOP has made undermining elections 
 its standard procedure. Join Women's March for a discussion on fighting for 
 voting rights.\n\nTuesday, July 20th @ 5 - 6 PM PT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.mobilize.us/womensmarchaction/event/390859\n\n\nFormer 
 President Trump did everything in his power to steal the presidential 
 election, and following his defeat Republicans in key states are re-writing 
 their voting laws to make voting even harder for groups who have already 
 been historically disenfranchised and excluded from the democratic 
 process.\n\nOn top of all that the Supreme Court -- now leaning heavily to 
 the right thanks to Trump’s three appointees -- has dismantled the Voting 
 Rights Act and given state’s carte blanche to pass more racist voter 
 suppression laws. \n\nWe will be joined by two national leaders on the 
 topic of voting rights, \nPastor William Smart, Jr. and Dr. Carmen Schaye 
 -- we hope you’ll join us for this in-depth discussion on one of the most 
 vital issues today!\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nABOUT: Rev. William D. Smart 
 Jr.\n\nRev. William D. Smart Jr. is the President and CEO of the Southern
