In our GREEN GRASSROOTS EMERGENCY ELECTION PROTECTION zoom #107 we open with WENDI LEDERMAN explaining how Florida’s extreme right-wing Gov. Ron DeSantis has arrested 20 citizens for the crime of voting while black. Despite a huge public referendum win confirming the right of ex-felons to vote, DeSantis and his fellow vigilantes are intent on terrorizing the electorate.
The great GREG PALAST then introduces his new film VIGILANTE: GEORGIA’S VOTER SUPPRESSION HITMAN. Legendary investigative reporter Palast introduces the astonishing reality of Georgia’s Gov. Brian Kemp, scion of an historic slave-owning family, and his all-out assault on the ability of thousands of Georgia citizens to cast ballots at all. Greg’s hour-long presentation includes powerful questions from DANNETT ABBOTT, DR. RUTH STRAUSS, RAY MCCLENDON, DENNIS BERNSTEIN, MARY BUTLER-STONEWALL, STEVE SPITZ, ALEX WILLIAMS, PAUL SHERMAN, GEORGE RIPLEY and many more.
HELENA BUCHMANN tells us how grassroots organizing defeated anti-choice conservatives in Kansas.
