Right to Vote Panel Discussion

Join us on October 22nd for a moderated panel discussion on the right-to-vote amendment. Learn about the racist history and impact of felony disenfranchisement, hear personal stories from impacted individuals, and get an update on our voter outreach work ahead of GOTV. We will be at the Gold Lion Community Cafe mingling and setting up at 6 PM, with the panel discussion running from 6:30 to 7:30. Since our organization's founding, we have worked to protect and expand voting rights for all Virginians. [Join us as we reach out to voters](https://www.mobilize.us/newvirginiamajority/) to help move our state past this final hurdle toward automatic restoration of voting rights and to enshrine three individual freedoms in our state constitution! ### Community Rules of Conduct and Engagement: By signing up for this event, we assume that you will fully abide by our Community Standards and Rules of Engagement. If a volunteer violates any of these standards, they will be removed and barred from future events at our discretion. We do this to protect our staff and volunteers and to create a safe and welcoming environment. I will respect NVM staff who have organized this meeting, as well as my fellow volunteers, by being mindful of our time constraints, avoiding harsh/foul language, and giving everyone a chance to speak. We will assume the good intent of all participants and staff. NVM organizes around and centers the needs of working-class communities of color. Please keep in mind that the strategies & messaging we use have been developed to keep those communities at the center of our work. Therefore, the strategies & messaging we use may not align with your specific expectations and may differ from what you've experienced with other volunteer organizations. Please keep this in mind as we work together to build a more equitable Virginia that is home to all. I recognize that there may be changes to the event's schedule and agenda. We will do our best to give you advance notice if
