SUMMARY:Help Protect the Midterm Elections from Interference\, Voter Suppression and Sabotage 
DESCRIPTION:Meet two tax-advantaged non-profit organizations working to counter election  interference across the country: The Partnership for Large Election Jurisdictions (PLEJ) and the National Coalition of Groups for Election Protection \n\n\n\nThe Partnership for Large Election Jurisdictions (PLEJ)is composed of Democratic and Republican election administrators from 143 large election jurisdictions across 34 states where an estimated 75% of all voters cast their ballots.  PLEJ is committed to administering free and fair elections under unprecedented personal and professional pressure – including targeted misinformation campaigns\, personal threats\, and budget constraints. PLEJ helps administrators prepare for the possibility of true election sabotage while simultaneously planning for a high-turnout election.  \n\n\n\nOur speaker: Carolina Lopez is Executive Director at PLEJ. She has extensive experience administering elections and has built broad national and in-state relationships and coalitions to guide legislative advocacy and shape election protection programs.  \n\n\n\nNational Coalition of Groups for Election Protection is a large\, national network of state and national non-partisan groups working to protect our elections. Focusing on communities most targeted by voter suppression and election subversion\, the coalition accelerates national strategies to counter sabotage at scale\, delivers national resources to state coalitions\, and facilitates strategic alignment and best practices to protect free and fair elections. The hundreds of groups in the coalition are organized into working groups prepared to act swiftly and decisively.  Democracy Defenders Fund is a leading partner of the coalition\, guiding and housing the operations of three domains: communications\, mobilization\, and litigation.   \n\n\n\nOur speaker: Susan Corke is Executive Director of Democracy Defenders Fund. She is a seasoned human rights advocate and former diplomat with more than 20 years experience defending democratic institutions globally.  \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\nDonate to Election Protection Fund\n\n\n\n\nNo donation is required to attend.
