Protecting Democracy
 

October 21 | 7pm

Are our ballots secure? Who is being targeted by voter suppression? What threats are real — and what’s noise? And how can we better understand the questions on the ballot this November and the implications of each of the 9 being voted on?

​

Join us at 101 Forest Ave., Swampscott, on October 21st for an open, community-centered conversation about the midterm elections with Liv Santoro from ACLU of MA.  MORE INFO
