As FairVote’s Khalid Pitts and distinguished panelists discussed in a Twitter Spaces event yesterday, Black Americans have been – and continue to be – at the leading edge of the fight for voting rights and reform, including for ranked choice voting and proportional representation.

We’re excited for a great conversation with guests Jessica Pierce, co-founder of Piece by Piece Strategies; Stefanie Brown James of The Collective PAC; advocate and activist Markus Bachelor; and FairVote’s own Khalid Pitts.

Join us for “How We Will Win in 2022” on Monday, February 28 at 5 PM.
