Voting rights are sacred in America, but as we approach this year’s midterm elections, they are more vulnerable than ever. Join us for an informational workshop to learn what is being done to defend the ballot and how you can help protect our community's voice. Some things you will learn by attending this workshop:

PROTECTING VOTER DATA: Learn how organizations are working to keep state voter files secure, and how you can help by supporting these efforts to keep our information private.

COUNTERING VOTER SUPPRESSION: Learn how organizations are preparing to identify and stop suppression tactics before they happen, and how you can help by joining local monitoring and rapid-response networks. You will also learn how to identify and counter false claims or misleading disinformation designed to confuse voters and suppress turn-out.

POLLING PLACE INTEGRITY: Learn about the federal laws that protect voters from intimidation, and how you can help by volunteering at the polls or by sharing "Know Your Rights" information regarding the presence of ICE or other unauthorized agents at the polls.

HOW/WHERE/WHEN can I vote?

Featured speakers include Ed Yohnka, Director of Communications for the ACLU of IL, and Edmund Michalowski, Deputy Clerk of Elections for Cook County.

There will be a Q&A after the workshop.

Space is limited. Please RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisibleelkgrovetownship/event/1004981/
