Rally in Support of Voting Rights: Several dozen grassroots organizations from across Westchester are rallying in White Plains on Monday to show support for immediate action on voting rights. The local rally is part of a statewide day of action and similar Deadline for Democracy events are playing out across the nation to create a sense of urgency around voting rights and other crucial democracy reforms well in advance of next year’s midterm elections.
Local Indivisible groups, Democratic committees and organizations are cosponsoring the rally to demonstrate that Congress must act to protect our democracy as the “Big Lie” of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election that sparked a violent attack at the Capitol continues to gain steam with numerous states across the country passing voter suppression laws.
Event: Deadline for Democracy
Date: Monday, June 28th
Time: 5:30PM
Location: 111 Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd, White Plains
Speakers: State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Jaron Benjamin, Co-founder of Birddog Nation
