Protecting the voting rights of our fellow Americans is vital to making democracy work. Join us for a public screening and community discussion of "Suppressed: The Fight to Vote." This 37-minute documentary is actively being screened in communities across the country to raise awareness of voter suppression in Georgia in the 2018 midterm election.

ABOUT SUPPRESSED
From Brave New Films www.fighttovote.org:

"Suppressed" weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in the 2018 midterm election where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S. The issues Georgians faced included polling place closures, voter purges, missing absentee ballots, extreme wait times and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately prevented many students and people of color from casting their ballots. Suppressed: The Fight to Vote features experts, poll watchers and everyday Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression and the threat it poses in 2020. In a race that was ultimately decided by 54,723 votes, the film exposes that the basic constitutional right to vote continues to be under siege in America.
