Voting Rights Tele-Town Hall Meeting 2016
The ACLU of Ohio held a voting rights tele-town hall meeting on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 as part of National Voter Registration Day.
Our town hall meeting was moderated by activist and media personality Basheer Jones, and featured panelists Crystal Bryant, co-director and partner at Cleveland VOTES, and Katrice Williams, policy associate at the ACLU of Ohio. Callers from across greater Cleveland were able to listen in and learn why protecting the voting rights of individuals with criminal convictions was important for ensuring the integrity of our democracy. For those who were not able to listen in, we are providing a recording of the event.
