As the cornerstone of our democracy, the ability for every eligible voter to participate in elections freely should be uncontroversial. But our country’s history of voter suppression and legislative initiatives to restrict voting currently underway in states all around the country—particularly in Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities—demonstrates the fragility of our system.

The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to a conversation with experts in democracy reform and community organizing as they discuss the critical steps needed to ensure a thriving democracy accessible to all.
