| I’m Faiz Shakir, National Political Director at the ACLU. We’re going on offense and launching a nationwide campaign to expand voting rights. We need Reddit’s help! AMA Posted: 29 Sep 2017 09:21 AM PDT Good to be here again, Reddit! As many of you know, in March, ACLU launched People Power, our national grassroots organizing arm. More than 71,628 People Power volunteers have already attended one of our organizing events. Our first task was to demand sanctuary policies for immigrants in communities across America with our Freedom Cities initiative. We locked in some big wins, including more than 20 cities that adopted ACLU-approved ordinances to halt Trump's mass deportation machine on a local level including Ann Arbor, Michigan, Phoenix, Arizona, Middlesex County, New Jersey, Culver City, California and many others. President Trump and his sham voter fraud commission are now working hard to undermine confidence in our elections, and legislators are increasingly whittling away at our voting rights. ACLU People Power is responding by going on offense to expand access to the ballot and make our democracy more representative. Together, we're launching the biggest effort to expand voting rights since passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.People Power doesn't work without the "people." That's why I'm asking Redditors to get involved and attend one of our launch events on October 1. Find a launch event near you at map.peoplepower.org. Here with me today also answering questions are Ronald Newman, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the ACLU u/rln2 and Bobby Hoffman, ACLU State Advocacy Strategist for voting rights u/ACLU_Bobby.
