Learn how to move beyond repeated reporting on the problems through a critical examination of efforts that are making progress when it comes to increasing turnout, bolstering security and combating problems like misinformation and gerrymandering.
Voter turnout, even before the coronavirus, was depressingly low. Elections machines in many states are old and unreliable. Voter suppression efforts abound. We know what’s wrong with elections — and democracy. So what needs to happen? What do we know about possible ways forward? Come learn how to move beyond repeated reporting on the problems through a critical examination of efforts that are making progress when it comes to increasing turnout, bolstering security and combating problems like misinformation and gerrymandering. Investigations into these efforts can spread important insights, and take away excuses from those behaving badly. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn about what’s working, and how to do this kind of coverage yourself.
