Join us on June 23rd at 6:30 pm EST for a virtual screening of RIGGED: The Voter Suppression Playbook, followed by a Q&A with the film's executive director, Tim Smith, Authoress of Uncounted: The Crisis of Voter Suppression in America, Gilda Daniels, and Statewide Voting Rights Organizer of ACLU-Florida, Sam Delgado.
Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, RIGGED takes a rigorous look at voter suppression and sparks discussion on the actions needed to protect our democracy. Shot principally during the 2016 election, the film tracks a systematic, decade-long effort to suppress votes at scale and reverse the growing demographic tide of new, young, and non-white voters who helped elect President Barack Obama in 2008. It details a variety of voter suppression “plays,” or tactics, ranging from the purging of voting rolls and passing of new, restrictive voter ID laws to gerrymandering and voter intimidation. The film also includes interviews with Republican strategists detailing how the game was played as well as interviews with leading voting rights advocates, law professors, demographers and Democratic strategists. This screening will be presented via Zoom Webinar. A link will be emailed to all RSVPs 48 hours in advance of the screening. Tuesday, June 23 6:30 p.m. Please RSVP through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-screening-of-rigged-tallahassee-fl-tickets-104801279448?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch
