You Can Vote

The fight to take back our state begins this Saturday,
February 22 with the launch of Durham PA’s You Can
Forward to a Friend
Vote project. You Can Vote is a non-­partisan project that
brings together a broad coalition of voting rights groups
and progressive organizations to work directly in Durham
and across North Carolina to fight voter suppression.
Inequality for
All

Inequality Team and Resource
Generation's Triangle Chapter
NC House Bill 589 instituted a range of negative
changes to election law, making it harder for people to
vote. However, with a concerted effort, we can minimize
the impact of this bill. The You Can Vote project will
work to identify, assist, and educate voters about
changes taking effect in 2014, and work to catalog those
who will need help gaining proper identification to vote in
2016 elections.
for a special watch party of
Secretary Robert Reich's awardwinning film 'Inequality for All.'
This is a wonderful opportunity to
connect with other folks active in
addressing economic inequality
and learn more about what you
can do to change the
conversation!
RSVP here for February 27,
2014
6:30-8:30PM
The 2014 election changes that will be highlighted
by You Can Vote are: the inability to cast provisional
ballots when voting out of precinct;; the asking of voters
for identification even though it is NOT required;; and the
changing of early voting schedules and locations. These
changes not only make it harder for people to vote, but
the accompanying misinformation has the potential to
suppress the historic voter turnouts seen in recent
elections. With your help, the You Can Vote project will
fight back, inform voters, and keep voting levels high.
