Suppressed: The Fight to Vote Film Series
|
BWOPA Oakland/Berkeley Chapter is thrilled to co-sponsor a film series featuring the documentary movie "Suppressed: The Fight to Vote."
Suppressed tells the story about Stacey Abrams' 2018 fight to become the first Black female Governor in the U.S. and how the vote was suppressed to deny her a victory. The film weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression. It features experts, poll watchers and everyday Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression and the threat it poses in 2020.
In a race that was ultimately decided by 54,723 votes, Suppressed exposes that the basic constitutional right to vote continues to be under siege in America.
BWOPA, has joined with the OEBDC, Xi Gamma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, John George Democratic Club, Progressive Democrats of America-Oakland, the Black Young Democrats of the East Bay (BYDEB), and the Block-by-Block Organizing Network (BBBON) to co-host this film series.
