What Happens After "You Have the Right to an Attorney"? This 3-part virtual lunchtime series will explore how Pennsylvania's public defense system works, what effective and ethical representation requires, and how modern public defense models are changing the way lawyers represent clients. The programs are open to legislators, legislative staff, attorneys, advocates, students, community members, and the general public. Free CLE credit will be available for attorneys.

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 Phieffer, Engagement and Mobilization Director Rebecca Cusumano-Seidel, Advocacy and Policy Strategist Kate Steiker-Ginzberg, Fellowship Attorney, Voting Rights Cambriae Lee, Communications Director
