DESCRIPTION:The Missing Constitutional Right: How a Voting Rights Amendment \nCould 
 Revitalize American Democracy\n\nWhen: Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at noon 
 PT\n\nLocation: Virtual event\n\nSpeaker & author: Richard L. Hasen, 
 Author, "A Real Right to Vote"; Professor of Law and Political Science, 
 Director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project, UCLA School of 
 Law\n\nModerator: Wilfred U. Codrington III, Associate Professor of Law and 
 Dean’s Research Scholar, Brooklyn Law School; Brennan Center 
 Fellow\n\nThe right to vote is one of the foundations of democracy, yet in 
 the United States, it has never truly been available to all. Generations 
 have seen different versions of the same conflict: disenfranchised groups 
 of people fighting for their right to cast a ballot. Today, this struggle 
 continues, with attempts to prohibit some Americans from voting, such as 
 those with criminal convictions, and to deter others, such as minority 
 groups.\n\nAuthor Richard Hasen argues in his new book, A Real Right to 
 Vote, that a constitutional amendment would end the fight over the 
 franchise. But could it be that simple? And, perhaps more importantly, is 
 there a way to overcome the politics of voter suppression and convince both 
 parties to enshrine this right for everyone? \n\nJoin us on Wednesday, 
 March 20, at noon PT (3 p.m. ET) for a live virtual event with Hasen, 
 professor of law and political science and director of the Safeguarding 
 Democracy Project at UCLA School of Law.\n\nHasen will be joined by 
 moderator Wilfred Codrington, associate professor of law at Brooklyn Law 
 School. Hasen and Codrington will discuss what it means to include an 
 affirmative right to vote in the Constitution and what it would take to get 
 there.\n\nProduced in partnership with the NYU John Brademas Center\n\n
