On Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 pm the League of Women Voters of Vermont (LWVVT) presents Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland-Hanzas. She will discuss two bills now before Congress: the SAVE Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act. The former, 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 Act would modernize and revitalize the Voting Rights Act of 1965, strengthening legal protections against discriminatory voting policies and practices.

The LWVVT Lecture Series, in partnership with Kellogg-Hubbard Library, is designed to bring outstanding speakers to discuss contemporary issues related to democracy and social justice. In its tenth season, we look at Voting Rights and Access to the Ballot.

This will be a virtual presentation. To register for this talk go to https://bit.ly/JLewisandSAVEAct
