Webinar: Ranked Choice Voting and the Value of Your Vote

On 9/25/24, UpVote Virginia and The Humanization Project hosted a powerful webinar about the value of the right to vote and how reforms like ranked choice voting can maximize a voter's impact - Ranked Choice Voting and the Value of Your Vote. We were led by Shawn A. Barksdale (host of the "Ten Minutes of Truth" podcast), and heard presentations from Charles Gates (WJCC NAACP), Colin Cole (More Equitable Democracy), Jenny Lee (Portland PRCV Campaign), and Elizabeth Melson (FairVote Virginia.)
