Coming Events
Freedom to Vote: Protecting the Ballot
Thursday, October 16 - 7:00 p.m. at the Champaign Public Library
The program will feature a 1/2 hour film providing a brief history of
the sacrifices that have been made in our nation's history to ensure
equal access to the ballot and discussion of current legislative
efforts that would create barriers to many low-income, elderly and
disabled voters such as requiring all voters to present photo
identification. Colleen Connell, constitutional law attorney and
Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois
will speak and answer questions after the film.
