In the Media: Barbara Arnwine ’73 Discusses Issues of Election Protection with Who.What.Why

Barbara Arnwine ’73, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition, issues of voter suppression and election protection on Who.What.Why’s Scrutineers Series podcast. She noted the various ways in which voters of color have been disenfranchised and added that people need to ensure that others in their communities remain registered to vote. “Mostly we鈥檝e said to people, ‘Be a great voter . . . register and vote,'” Arnwine said. “But we need to also say to people that in this time, we need you to also be an advocate, where you help others, where you鈥檙e calling up your family members, you鈥檙e calling your friends, your colleagues, and saying, ‘Are you registered? Have you checked your voter registration status? Let鈥檚 make sure that you are registered. Let鈥檚 make sure you haven鈥檛 been purged. Let鈥檚 make sure you鈥檙e not sitting on an inactive list.'”
