“Rigged” free screening

Join us for a screening of RIGGED: The Voter Suppression Playbook, followed by a voting rights panel and Q&A with the film’s executive producer.

Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, RIGGED takes a rigorous look at voter suppression and sparks discussion on the actions needed to protect our democracy. Shot principally during the 2016 election, the film tracks a systematic, decade-long effort to suppress votes at scale and reverse the growing demographic tide of new, young, and non-white voters who helped elect President Barack Obama in 2008. It details a variety of voter suppression “plays,” or tactics, ranging from the purging of voting rolls and passing of new, restrictive voter ID laws to gerrymandering and voter intimidation. The film also includes interviews with Republican strategists detailing how the game was played as well as interviews with leading voting rights advocates, law professors, demographers and Democratic strategists.

Post-Screening panel discussion on voting rights to follow. Panelists include:

Bertrall Ross, Berkeley Law Professor
Brittany Stonesifer, Attorney, ACLU
Mac Heller, Executive Producer, Rigged
