About this Event

The New York Democratic Lawyers Council (NYDLC) and Assemblymember Latrice Walker invite you to a FREE* workshop discussing voter protection outcomes in 2024, threats we face in 2025, and what we can do to better coordinate, at the 54th Annual Black Latino Hispanic & Asian Legislative Conference in Albany. Our expert panel will review issues identified by NYDLC's voter protection efforts in New York, examine specific measures that will help us defend our civil and voting rights, including the census, and how communities can better coordinate to resist the attacks and inspire our volunteer base leading into 2025 and 2026.
