Campaign Finance Reform:
A Civil Rights Issue?
When and Where:
Tuesday, July 20, 2004
2:00 p.m., Moot Courtroom
Featured Speaker:
John Bonifaz
General Counsel, National Voting Rights Institute
Nearly 90 percent of 2002 US campaign contributions came from non-Hispanic,
white zip codes. Private funding of public elections denies communities
of color and the non-wealthy meaningful participation and
representation. Calling this the newest voting rights barrier, the
National Voting Rights Institute links campaign finance reform to civil
rights. Come hear how you can start working to defend the rights of all
citizens, regardless of economic status, to participate in the electoral
process!
Co-sponsored by NURF, the Northeastern chapter of the National Lawyers Guild
