"SUPPRESSED: The FIGHT TO VOTE" examines the widespread voter
suppression that happened during the 2018 Midterm Election in Georgia
where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor
in the U.S. The issues Georgians faced included polling place
closures, voter purges, missing absentee ballots, extreme wait times
and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately
prevented many students and people of color from casting their
ballots. In a race that was ultimately decided by 54,723 votes, the
film exposes that the basic constitutional right to vote continues to
be under siege in America. Join Ladies of the Resistance and Swing
Left SF for a SCREENING AND DISCUSSION OF THIS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY,
and learn what you can do to help FIGHT VOTER SUPPRESSION ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. #FIGHTTOVOTE RSVP: http://t.ly/R9EX5 [http://t.ly/R9EX5]
