Letter from People for the American Way, "NOW" on PBS tonight

[karlrschneider]

"Dear Karl,

Tonight, PBS’s NOW will tackle the trend of restrictive voting laws that have been emerging across the country in recent years. Featured on the show – and setting the record straight – will be two People For the American Way Foundation leaders:
• Georgia Representative Alisha Thomas Morgan, of PFAW Foundation’s Young Elected Officials Network, is an ardent defender of democracy and leading advocate against an overly restrictive voter identification law passed in Georgia that was struck down in court as unconstitutional (now on appeal in the 11th Circuit Appeals Court).
• David Becker, a Senior Attorney for PFAW Foundation working on civil rights and voting rights issues, brings his informed perspective to the discussion, having worked for several years in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division.

If you want to know why People For’s extensive work on our nation’s voting problems is one of the most important acts of civic engagement currently underway, you won’t want to miss this program."

It comes on at 7:30 p.m. CST in this market but I think it varies according to the local PBS
station scheduling.
