National Racial Equity Initiative for Social Justice (NREI)
Community Conversation in Atlanta
Saturday, June 8, 2024 | 9:00am - 4:30pm
Loudermilk Conference Center
40 Courtland St NE
Atlanta, GA 30303
The Atlanta NREI Community Conversation will bring together legislators, policymakers, activists, and community members to examine the core principles of democracy and the ongoing struggle for voting rights and representation in America. Fundamentally, the right to vote is essential for ensuring equal participation and representation for all citizens, yet historical challenges and systemic barriers have disproportionately impacted marginalized communities.
Through a fireside chat, a voting and activism fair, and panel discussions, this event will explore the complexities of voting rights and representation, covering historical struggles, key legislation, contemporary issues, and the role of technology in enhancing democratic access.
