SUMMARY:League of Women Voters: Voter Suppression Methods ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Series Introduction\nFor nine years\, the League of Women Voters of Vermont\, in partnership with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library\, has presented a monthly series of programs designed to inform and engage the public on issues of civic importance. This year\, the series turns its attention to voting rights and access to the ballot—a cornerstone of democracy that continues to evolve amid social\, legal\, and political challenges. Join us each month as we explore key questions and legislation shaping the American voting landscape. \nJanuary 14: Voter Suppression MethodsExamine the tactics and policies that have been used to restrict voting access and their effects on communities across the country. \nAbout the Speaker: \nLiz Tentarelli is president of the non-partisan League of Women Voters of New Hampshire\, a position she has held since 2013. She attends election law hearings in the NH House and the Senate and testifies on many of the election law bills on behalf of the League. She is also a presenter for the New Hampshire Humanities on women’s suffrage. Liz is a retired educator and lives in Manchester NH. \nRecording of the Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0FSZv1VGbg&t=4s \nFuture Talks:\nFebruary 11: GerrymanderingLearn how the drawing of electoral district boundaries can influence political power and affect representation. \nMarch 11: John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the SAVE ActDiscuss recent federal proposals aimed at protecting voting rights and combating discriminatory practices at the ballot box\, as well as new rules that would restrict access to voter registration. \nPrevious Talks: \nNovember 12:  What is Birthright Citizenship?\nThe series opens with a talk on birthright citizenship\, one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood elements of American democracy. What does it mean to be granted citizenship by birth? How has this principle been interpreted\, challenged\, and defended over time? This program will examine the historical roots of the 14th Amendment\, explore current debates surrounding citizenship\, and consider what proposed changes could mean for the future of civil rights in the United States. \nDecember 10: History of the Voting Rights ActExplore the origins and impact of the Voting Rights Act\, the landmark legislation that shaped access to the ballot in the United States.

SUMMARY:Women & Investing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Investing isn’t about knowing all the right answers\, it’s about having the space and support to ask the right questions. This session explores how women often bring patience\, discipline\, and a long-term focus to investing\, qualities that research shows can lead to positive outcomes over time. We talk about the barriers that exist – confidence\, access\, representation- and how education can shift the landscape. We’ll also walk through intentional\, actionable steps to help people move forward with clarity and confidence. While this conversation centers around women\, it’s open to all\, because inclusion strengthens the impact of these conversations\, especially when we’re trying to shift systems\, not just individual experiences. Understanding your money isn’t just a skill\, it’s a form of power. And we want to empower you. \nA seminar presented by Kasandra Reid of Greenhill Financial Partners.

SUMMARY:Mindful Aging: Legal Considerations in Health Care Directives at MSAC
DESCRIPTION:Completing your Advance Directives involves making a number of personal decisions about your healthcare\, especially as it pertains to end-of life care. But did you know that there are legal considerations that should be addressed as well? Attorneys Heather Devine and Robin Goeman will be at MSAC to talk about these considerations and help you understand how you can best address them. Even if you already have Advanced Directives in place\, you are encouraged to attend as it is good to review them and make sure they are doing what you want. \n  \nThis event takes place at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center.

SUMMARY:League of Women Voters: History of the Voting Rights Act ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Series Introduction\nFor nine years\, the League of Women Voters of Vermont\, in partnership with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library\, has presented a monthly series of programs designed to inform and engage the public on issues of civic importance. This year\, the series turns its attention to voting rights and access to the ballot—a cornerstone of democracy that continues to evolve amid social\, legal\, and political challenges. Join us each month as we explore key questions and legislation shaping the American voting landscape. \nDecember 10: History of the Voting Rights ActExplore the origins and impact of the Voting Rights Act\, the landmark legislation that shaped access to the ballot in the United States. \nAbout the Speaker: \nProfessor Alec Ewald teaches courses in constitutional law and U.S. politics and constitutional law\, in the Department of Political Science at UVM. His research focuses on criminal justice\, specifically on the restrictions of rights and privileges that often accompany a conviction – what are sometimes called the “collateral consequences” of criminal-justice involvement. He is author of The Way We Vote: The Local Dimension of American Suffrage (Vanderbilt University Press\, 2009)\, and co-editor of Criminal Disenfranchisement in an International Perspective (Cambridge University Press\, 2009). His research has been published in academic journals such as Criminology\, Law & Policy\, Law & Social Inquiry\, Publius: The Journal of Federalism\, Qualitative Sociology\, Social Science Quarterly\, the Fordham Urban Law Journal\, the Wisconsin Law Review\, and the Columbia Human Rights Law Review. \nThis talk will address the history and impact of the Voting Rights Act (VRA)\, including landmark recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court that have limited the VRA’s reach. Professor Ewald will also discuss a case currently before the Court\, Louisiana v. Callais\, in which the Court will consider striking down the VRA’s most significant surviving section. \nJoin the virtual meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85261263951\nFuture Talks:\nJanuary 14: Voter Suppression MethodsExamine the tactics and policies that have been used to restrict voting access and their effects on communities across the country. \nFebruary 11: GerrymanderingLearn how the drawing of electoral district boundaries can influence political power and affect representation. \nMarch 11: John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the SAVE ActDiscuss recent federal proposals aimed at protecting voting rights and combating discriminatory practices at the ballot box\, as well as new rules that would restrict access to voter registration. \nPrevious Talks: \nNovember 12:  What is Birthright Citizenship?\nThe series opens with a talk on birthright citizenship\, one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood elements of American democracy. What does it mean to be granted citizenship by birth? How has this principle been interpreted\, challenged\, and defended over time? This program will examine the historical roots of the 14th Amendment\, explore current debates surrounding citizenship\, and consider what proposed changes could mean for the future of civil rights in the United States.
