All-Member Webinar: 2026 Election Protection & Safeguarding Plans

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy – and protecting the right to vote requires all of us. The ACLU of Pennsylvania and our partners have as important a role to play in safeguarding the 2026 election more than ever – ensuring access to the ballot without unnecessary barriers and helping uphold the integrity of the election and certification processes. Join us for our next All-Member Webinar on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 12 p.m. to learn about our 2026 Election Protection and Safeguarding plans. We hope you’ll leave with a better understanding of how the ACLU-PA shows up – before, during, and after Election Day – to protect Pennsylvania voters and respond when voter rights are threatened, and we’ll equip you with resources to keep you informed and ready to take action!   Moderated by: Danitra Sherman – Acting Director of Advocacy and Policy Panelists: Samm Pheiffer, Engagement and Mobilization Director Rebecca Cusumano-Seidel, Advocacy and Policy Strategist Kate Steiker-Ginzberg, Fellowship Attorney, Voting Rights Cambriae Lee, Communications Director
