 VOTE\n\nAt a moment of intense new interest in the fight over voting 
 rights, a new edition of the acclaimed work of history, "The Fight to 
 Vote", provides an invaluable look at the history that has led to today’s 
 great clash over American democracy.\n\nDonald Trump’s Big Lie isn’t 
 just about what the defeated president felt or did — but rather the 
 impact of his actions on American democracy and millions of voters. \n\nIn 
 conversation with acclaimed political journalist Yamiche Alcindor (NBC News 
 Washington Correspondent), Brennan Center President, Michael Waldman, 
 tracks the current wave of voting restrictions sweeping statehouses around 
 the country in the context of the nation’s history of voting rights — 
 from the Founders’ debates, to the civil rights era.\n\n“Some eras are 
 quiet,” Waldman writes now. “In others, great forces clash, bringing 
 about breakthroughs in participation—or a lurch backward. That’s where 
 we are today: one of the most intense moments in our history in the fight 
 for a meaningful right to vote.”\n\nWaldman shows that the fight over the 
 vote has always been a central political issue, delivering a message that 
 the late Rep. John Lewis called “a message every American needs to 
 hear.” Trump’s bid to overturn the election marked a break with that 
 history. \n\nIt’s an epic clash — with states rushing to restrict the 
 vote, while Congress has the power to stop them. The question is whether it 
 has the political will.\n\nProduced in partnership with New York 
 University’s John Brademas Center\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n--Michael Waldman, 
 President, Brennan Center for Justice, author of The Fight to Vote and The 
 Second Amendment: A Biography and President of the Brennan Center for 
 Justice, is a leading law scholar and public policy advocate.\n\n--Yamiche 
 Alcindor, Anchor and Moderator, PBS’s Washington Week; Washington 
 Correspondent, NBC News (March 2022) \n\n\n\n
