Join IMPACT 2004, National Black Law Students Association, People For the American Way Foundation, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Working Assets, Mother Jones magazine, True Majority, Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities and others to learn about opportunities to help protect voting rights in key states on November 2. Participants will receive an update on efforts to prevent minority disenfranchisement and intimidation at the polls, challenges posed by computer voting systems and an overview of the key states where voting rights are at greatest risk.
After a one-hour program, participants will attend training sessions led by top civil rights groups. Specialized training will be provided for lawyers and law students interested in serving a poll monitor or hotline volunteers in key battleground states. Bring your family and friends. No commitment required, just a devotion to democracy and a dedication to a fair and free election.
