Lunch Talk: State Voting Rights Acts
February 13, 2025
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
WCC; 1015 Classroom
Join EDP for a panel discussion with Adriel Cepeda Derieux (ACLU’s Voting Rights Project), Perry Grossman (NYCLU’s Voting Rights Project), and Michael Pernick (NAACP LDF) for a discussion on developing and advocating for state voting rights acts.
In addition to litigating numerous federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) cases, these 3 experienced advocates have led the charge on several state VRA cases. As federal courts continue to set up roadblocks to combatting voter dilution and vote denial, state VRAs—which exceed their federal counterpart in breadth and feature updated language to counteract modern gerrymandering practices—have become the modern solution to restoring power to the voters.
Lunch will be provided!
