A rare opportunity to hear from the national, cutting-edge organization responsible for several recent wins on bi-partisan electoral reforms. Rob Richie and Cynthia Terrell, co-founders of the organization FairVote and its Representation2020 will discuss the impact of electoral rules on the 2016 elections and the increasingly powerful case for reforms affecting the Electoral College, gerrymandering, voting rights, representation of women, and third parties. They’ll zero in on two topics; how to take ranked choice voting national in the wake of its trailblazing win in Maine and how to turn the April 2017 centennial of women serving in Congress into a campaign for parity in representation.

All are welcome for the presentation and a Q&A. Please spread the word and make sure to RSVP. We have a room reserved for 50. Thanks!

RSVP requested.
