Brave New Films weaves together personal stories from experts, poll watchers and ordinary Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression in the 2018 election. While voter suppression has been going on for over a century in America, Georgia was ground zero in 2018 amidst a historic gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp. Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S. while her opponent, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, was in charge of running the election. Covering a race that was ultimately decided by just 54,723 votes, the film exposes how the constitutional right to vote remains under siege as the 2020 election approaches.
The event features a welcome message from Nellie Gorbea, Rhode Island Secretary of State, and a screening of the film. Immediately following the film, a panel discussion will be held. This event is co-hosted by: The #YESpvd! 365 Project, ARISE, AS220, the Equity Institute, Sprout CoWorking, the Rhode Island Department of State, and NAACP Providence Chapter.
This event is part of The #YESpvd! 365 Project, a division of the Youth Empowerment Summit, to educate the community about civic action and voter suppression. Throughout the year the project hosts events and programs to enrich, empower and equip young people ages 13 to 24 with educational, entrepreneurship and employment opportunities.
This event is FREE and open to the public. All are welcome, but space is limited! Attendees must RSVP via Eventbrite. Link to event rsvp: http://civicaction.yespvd.org
