(Virtual) Elections & Emotions: Voter Trust in Georgia & the South
Date and Time for this Past Event
- Wednesday, Oct 14, 2020 6:30pm - 8pm
Details
Join PEN America and the Racial Equity in Journalism Fund at Borealis Philanthropy for a live panel with reliable sources from Georgia and the South in which we will explore the role of trusted voices this election season.
We’re honored to feature a panel committed to broad civic engagement across communities in the South, leaders who will all be ready to discuss strategies for navigating heightened emotions around the election and how to engage with Black and Latino voters in the lead-up to an unprecedented election season. We will discuss the electoral process, disinformation, community empowerment, and what to expect on Election Day and as the nation awaits results.
Panelists: Pastor Dr. Jamal H. Bryant, Rashad Richey, Mariela Romero, James Woodall, Sharon Reed (moderator)
We are very excited to offer an interactive component to this virtual panel: Though the first half of this event will be structured as a moderated panel discussion, the second half will address pre-submitted questions from community members before moving into live Q&A. We want to hear from you: What are the issues that you would like to discuss regarding information integrity and voter trust in the South? We invite you to join us in mapping out the conversation by submitting a question or conversation topic that you would like to address. You may return to submit as many times as you wish, and please note that the submission deadline will close on October 14 at 4pm ET.
This virtual conversation is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by The Atlanta Voice and the Georgia NAACP.
