LWV Book Discussion In-Person

Join the League of Women Voters book discussion on One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy  by Carol Anderson

Focusing on the aftermath of Shelby, Anderson follows the astonishing story of government-dictated racial discrimination unfolding before our very eyes as more and more states adopt voter suppression laws. In gripping, enlightening detail she explains how voter suppression works, from photo ID requirements to gerrymandering to poll closures. And with vivid characters, she explores the resistance: the organizing, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans
