UUCV Social Justice Committee presents the film “Suppressed: The Fight to Vote”

The SJC will show the film “Suppressed: The Fight to Vote” on Sunday morning, November 3rd, at 9:15 in UUCV’s Board Room.  This new documentary by Robert Greenwald (director of Outfoxed, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price, and Making A Killing: Guns, Greed, & the NRA), weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in the 2018 midterm election where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S. The issues Georgians faced included polling place closures, voter purges, missing absentee ballots, extreme wait times and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately prevented many students and people of color from casting their ballots.  The film runs 35 minutes and will be followed by a short discussion period.
