DESCRIPTION:There will be a film screening of Greg Palast's documentary "VIGILANTES 
 INC. America's New Voter Suppression Hitman" at the First Presbyterian 
 Church in Concord, followed by a speak-out and discussion.\n\nWhat they 
 couldn't suppress in the public and political arena, they will try to 
 suppress by eliminating people's right to vote.  Know your rights, know 
 what they have done, and what they will do.  \n\nRecently, more than 400 
 anti-voter bills have been introduced in 48 states.  These bills are 
 barriers to registering to vote, voting by mail, or voting in 
 person.\n\nAcross the country, 1 in 16 Black Americans cannot vote due to 
 disenfranchisement laws.  Counties with larger minority populations have 
 fewer polling sites and poll workers per vote.   25 percent of voting-age 
 Black Americans do not have a government-issued photo ID.  \n\nThe right to 
 vote is a fundamental constitutional right: democracy cannot exist without 
 the electoral participation of citizens.  Know your voting rights - it's 
 illegal to intimidate voters and a federal crime to "intimidate, threaten, 
 [or] coerce... any other person for the purpose of interfering with the 
 right of [that] other person to vote or to vote as he may choose."\n\nThe 
 film showing and the following discussion will be at:\nThe First 
 Presbyterian Church, 1965 Colfax St., Concord, CA\nWednesday, July 2nd, 
 2025, 6-9 PM.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/06/21/18877461.php
