Marxe Breakfast : Democracy in Peril : Defending Voting Rights

Moderated by David Birdsell, Dean of the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, the program starts by showing a documentary film regarding the access to the right to vote guaranteed in the constitution using North Carolina for the case study of the issues and taking a close look as it relates to national security, terrorism, social justice and human rights protections against radical public policies. The panelists include: Ezra Rosenberg of the Voting Rights Project at Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights under the Law, Melissa Mark-Viverito of the Latino Victory Fund, and Susan Lerner of the Common Cause of New York. A Q & A follows the discussions
