Lex Talk About: Voting will be held June 3rd
Voting will provide a timely conversation that not only emphasizes the importance of voting and civic engagement, but offer perspective on the current landscape for voter access nationally and in Kentucky. Also, given the national response to COVID-19 in service of the public health and bipartisan rule changes that have created greater opportunity for voters to cast their ballot and maintain social distancing guidance, participants will hear from a nonpartisan panel of experts and consider the impact those changes will have on them for the June 23rd Primary election. Moderated by Christian Motley of Strive Together, the discussion will include: Jennifer Lai-Peterson, a voting rights attorney and former union and community organizer; Josh Douglas, a professor at UK’s College of Law and author of Vote for US: How to Take Back our Elections and Change the Future of Voting; and Former Secretary of State Trey Greyson, Managing Director of Frost Brown Todd’s government relations affiliate, CivicPoint.

The August panel will be moderated by Stephanie Spires, Chair, Fayette County Public Schools Board of Education. Participants are: Ben Haydon, Community Engagement Coordinator for Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, Inc.; Kaelyn Query, Founder and President of Lexington Event Company; and Dominique R.
