Join us this evening for some virtual events!
| Activating The Electorate | | Thursday, April 9 | 6:00pm | | |
| | | 2018 saw the highest midterm turnout in four decades. But at only fifty-three percent voter participation, the U.S. ranks near the bottom of developed countries. Now America is faced with a new reality that could lower those numbers even further. The covid-19 pandemic has blown up plans for the upcoming election. Fundraising, messaging, organizing, even the act of voting have all been turned upside down. With the 2020 election fast approaching, strategists and organizers are being forced to engage people from a distance while contending with a global struggle of historic proportions. KQED’s Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos along with political scientist Lisa Garcia Bedolla and Republican strategist Mike Madrid will unpack the questions that these challenges present. Join us on Facebook Live as KQED explores new ways of connecting with you and adapting our events to these changing times. | | |
