Again, the battle for voting rights in America rears its ugly head. As the demographic shifts, voters in states across the country are faced with assaults to their voting rights that unfairly target the poor and communities of color. Legal redress has been the norm — and now we’re facing challenges that have reached the highest court. We’re fighting these new laws with everything in our organizing arsenal — including mobile messaging and other means of digital media. Civil rights groups, law organizations and labor all have a stake in this battle — and leaders from these organizations have gathered together to address the state of voting in America. Brennan Center's Wendy Weiser joined panelists Julie Greene, Ben Jealous, and Sec. Mark Ritchie, with moderator Jotaka Eaddy.
