On Wednesday, April 15, the Joint Center hosted an online briefing on accessible vote-by-mail and safe in-person voting for Black communities. The session—organized in partnership with the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and NAACP LDF— explored safeguards necessary to ensure an accessible vote-by-mail system that does not dilute Black votes, and ensures sanitized and uncrowded in-person polling places.
The expert panelists included:
Fair Fight Founder Stacey Abrams
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson
Black Voters Matter Fund Co-Founder LaTosha Brown
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law President Kristen Clarke
Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President Vanita Gupta
NAACP LDF President and Director-Counsel Sherrilyn Ifill
