Pulitzer Center webinar on voter suppression - CIVITAS-STL

Pulitzer Center webinar on voter suppression

During the 2020-2021 school year, it’s unknown if we can bring journalists from the Pulitzer Center to local STL schools. However, the Pulitzer Center is hosting a series of engaging and informative online events for students and teachers.

Journalist Brittany Gibson

One of the upcoming webinars is, “The Fight Against Voter Suppression with Brittany Gibson.” It’s part of a project called Battle to the Ballot Box.

In this webinar, Brittany Gibson will share her reporting on the many varieties of voter suppression and disenfranchisement that impact U.S. elections. Brittany will share how policies are impacting people’s ability to vote across the country, what people are doing to fight back in their local communities, and tips for taking action yourself.
