Voter Suppression is Real

Voting is Americans' most precious constitutional right and the November 3, 2020, election is among the most consequential in U.S. history. This is especially true for people of color, whose voter participation is, once again, under direct attack. This special BPM series of video shorts, produced by Color Farm Media, features thought leaders in conversation about voting and the issues that should drive us to the polls.
