Today's guest hosts are Charlotte Hancock and Edwith Theogene, Communications Director and Organizing Director for Generation Progress.
Today's discussion is about the fact that we're just sixth months away from one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. People across the country will need safe and reliable ways to vote and have their votes counted in November. Ensuring that happens in a country with an extremely dubious history with voting rights will take a lot of work—and funding—on the federal, state, and local levels.
To learn more about what needs to be done now to protect our elections during this emergency and beyond, Edwith and Charlotte are joined by Tiffany Dena Loftin, the Director of the NAACP Youth & College Division, and Danielle Root, the Associate Director of Voting Rights and Access to Justice on the Center for American Progress Democracy and Government Reform Team.
