January 18, 2024
“Make Your Vote Count! A Voting Rights Discussion” brought together policy experts from Common Cause, MassVote, and Brandeis University on January 18th in the International Lounge in the Usdan Student Center.
ENACT Your Vote Student Fellow Yoni Kahn ’25 moderated a conversation with Prof. Zachary Albert of the Brandeis University Politics Department; Marisol Santiago, Policy and Organizing Director for MassVOTE; and Aaron Scherb, Senior Director of Legislative Affairs for Common Cause.
The panelists discussed current challenges facing voting, and efforts underway to address those challenges, followed by a Q&A with an engaged audience of Brandeis students who were joined on Zoom by ENACT Faculty Fellow Victor Eno and his students at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University.
