The League of Women Voters of Greenwich will present an educational program that addresses the current state of voting rights and proposed changes to these rights. Andrew Garber, fellow within the Brennan Center's Voting Rights and Elections Program, will be the guest speaker. The presentation will be divided into two parts: Part one will address national voting rights issues and part two will focus on proposed changes to voting rights in the State of Connecticut. The program will be held virtually and the public is invited to attend.

Join the LWV Civil Discourse Network and National Institute for Civil Discourse to explore ways that everyday Americans can build our capacity to establish resilience to the impact of mis/disinformation. As we think about some of the challenges in our democracy now, the information ecosystem is helping foster increased division and distrust. Misinformation spreading on social media has become an unfortunate fact of life: fueling polarization and hate, driving down trust in institutions, amplifying fringe science and conspiracies, and inciting violence. Every political and social issue is now impacted by the threat of false and misleading claims that can confuse and radicalize the public.
