ELECTION PROTECTION - How To Protect Our Voting Rights

Voting rights are sacred in America, but they are more vulnerable than ever. Join us for this virtual training session, hosted by Indivisible Elk Grove Township, to learn what is being done to defend the ballot and how you can help protect our community's voice. Sign up for a link here.

Some things you will learn by attending this virtual workshop:

THE SAVE ACT: Learn about the legal and legislative strategies currently being used to oppose this act, and how you can help through coordinated advocacy and public awareness.

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.

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.

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