SUMMARY:League of Women Voters: John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the SAVE Act - Online Only
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. \nMarch 11: John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the SAVE Act \nVermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas discusses two bills now before Congress: the SAVE Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The SAVE Act\, which has passed the House\, would require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would modernize and revitalize the Voting Rights Act of 1965\, strengthening legal protections against discriminatory voting policies and practices. \nJoin the virtual meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85261263951\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. \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.
