Join us to explore this critical issue with Denise Lieberman, nationally-recognized expert on voting rights and Senior Attorney with the Advancement Project, which works to eliminate systemic barriers to democratic participation. Lieberman has been at the forefront of legal debates on the Voting Rights Act, and in July 2015, she challenged the nation’s first new restrictive voting law on behalf of the North Carolina NAACP. She has been featured on CNN and PBS, as well as in the New York Times and Washington Post.
