Join the Central Illinois Chapter of the ACLU of Illinois and the League of Women Voters of McLean County for a voting rights town hall on Wednesday, October 14th from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM at the McLean County Museum of History.

In preparation for the November 3rd elections, our speakers will discuss voter rights and election protection strategies at the local, state, and national levels. But most importantly, we hope that attendees will share their own voting experiences, comment upon their ongoing hopes and concerns, and collectively strategize to ensure that our upcoming election will be fair and free of unnecessary disruption.

The list of speakers who will participate in the event includes:

  • Kyle Ciani, Voting Services Director, League of Women Voters of McLean County
  • Tom Eder, Member, Central Illinois ACLU Chapter
  • Irv Epstein, Vice-President, Central Illinois ACLU Chapter
  • Luis Gomez, Events and Supporter Communications Strategist, ACLU of Illinois
  • Carol Koos, President, Central Illinois ACLU Chapter
