The Impact of Your Vote

SEE EVENT DETAILS
The Social Justice Info Series is a four-part series sponsored by the Undergraduate Criminology Program and the Center for Social Justice at HNU. This series is born out of a need to address the civil unrest experienced nationally, internationally and collectively by our students and others, in response to policing practices impacting communities of color.

The info series is intended to facilitate transformative learning and create a space to have real conversations that address current issues, and present opportunities for growth that can affect healthy, productive change within the criminal justice system and the community at large.

This final session will discuss the importance of voting. Guests will present issues that resonate with many communities and discuss how local issues and concerns are directly related to voting.

Guest Speakers:
Eli Ferran, JD, Former Oakland Deputy City Attorney
Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA)
