What's next for voting, including ensuring voting rights for all who are eligible and maximizing voting in every election?
As we commemorate two monumental anniversaries—60 years since the March on Washington and the passage of the Civil Rights Act—it's clear that the fight for voting rights remains as vital as ever. With the United States approaching a pivotal election, we invite you to join us for “What’s Next for Voting?: Still Marching Toward the Mountaintop,” a hybrid event dedicated to renewing our commitment to safeguarding voting rights and and to maximizing voting in all elections.
This event is not just a gathering; it’s a call to action. Together, we’ll reflect on the progress made since the March on Washington, examine efforts in Minnesota and beyond to expand voting access, and confront the challenges we still face, including voter suppression, apathy, and misinformation.
By participating, you'll be part of a community working to develop practical strategies to combat these barriers, motivate young voters, and support the electoral process in ways that extend beyond the ballot box. These strategies will be actionable, allowing you to make a real impact in your community.
Working Lunch
Following the panel discussion, guests in-person at the event will enjoy boxed lunches and dive into facilitated conversations at their tables, engaging with several questions, the answers to which will provide actionable steps to attendees and members of the community.
Guests on Zoom will also have an opportunity to share their thoughts during this time.
Register to attend the event either in-person or virtually.

LWVMN Caucus Resolutions
As part of our Advocacy work, LWVMN has drafted template caucus resolutions for members to consider based on our positions. Proposing a resolution at caucus provides an opportunity for members to express their voice and influence what is accepted as part of a party platform. In addition, it can expose your neighbors and community to the issues that LWVMN influences.
