At a time when voters from historically disenfranchised communities feel cheated, unheard, underrepresented, and uncertain that their political participation will make a difference—so much is at stake.

This diverse panel of activists, organizers, and educators will address systemic barriers that impede the socio-economic advancement of marginalized communities; while discussing the importance of voting (despite the absence of enthusiasm) and solutions for achieving our common goals.

Panelists include: Janaya Future Khan, Richie Reseda, Dr. Connie Wun, & Alex Sanchez

Moderated by: Ashlee Marie Preston
