SUMMARY:Dangerous Speech Pre and Post COVID-19: Countering Online Hatred while Protecting Freedom of Expression
DESCRIPTION:When you see something hateful online\, do you respond? If so\, why? And how\, exactly? Everyone says “don’t feed the trolls.” But blocking\, ignoring\, and deleting can only go so far – and often serve to further polarize and isolate us. People around the world are choosing instead to actively resist hatred online by engaging with the trolls\, alone and in groups\, in different innovative ways. This talk will draw on 18 months of research conducted by Cathy Buerger\, Director of Research at the Dangerous Speech Project. The talk will discuss the challenges of responding to hatred online as well as best practices gleaned from this research. \nSpeaker: \nCATHY BUERGER is the Director of Research at the Dangerous Speech Project (DSP)\, a Washington\, DC-based NGO that studies the relationship between speech and violence. She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Connecticut\, where her research examined how civil society activists in Ghana work together to support positive norms and to uphold human rights. Her current research at the DSP focuses on civil society responses to dangerous and hateful speech online. She is a Research Affiliate of UConn’s Economic and Social Rights Research Group\, Managing Editor of the Journal of Human Rights\, and an Editor for the Teaching Human Rights Database. \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis event is from 7:30pm to 9:30pm on May 21\, 2020.\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP for the Zoom webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hscTspyqRj6q-G0kDXwRDw \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/live/ \n(Webinar access is limited to the first 100 RSVPs\, and will include the ability to ask questions.  If you only want to watch the event\, please use the Facebook Live link on the night of the event.) \n

SUMMARY:Transforming Our Democracy with Ranked Choice Voting
DESCRIPTION:Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a simple solution with a big impact. It promotes majority support\, contributes to more civil and issue-oriented campaigns\, gives voters more choices\, and produces a more reflective democracy. Amidst widespread frustration with politics among both voters and elected officials\, it’s no surprise that ranked-choice voting is gaining momentum across the country as a win-win solution that strengthens our democracy. \nThe RCV movement is poised to continue its momentum. BIlls in Congress would establish RCV across all congressional elections\, with both the Ranked Choice Voting Act and the more comprehensive Fair Representation Act garnering growing political and intellectual support. State activity is growing. FairVote President Rob Richie will discuss ranked-choice voting’s transformative impact and what it will take to bring RCV to states like New Jersey. \nSpeaker: \nRob Richie has been the leader of FairVote since co-founding the organization in 1992 and was named president and CEO in 2018. He has played a key role in advancing\, winning\, and implementing electoral reforms at the local and state levels. Richie has been involved in helping to develop\, win\, and implement: ranked-choice voting in states and more than 20 cities\, fair representation voting systems in numerous Voting Rights Act cases\, the National Popular Vote plan in 16 states\, and voter access proposals like voter pre-registration and automatic voter registration. \n  \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/posts/2799065263502450 \nTo RSVP for the Zoom webinar\, go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QxzwveIkRE2KeZI5ji8Uog \n(Webinar access is limited to the first 100 RSVPs\, and will include the ability to ask questions.  If you only want to watch the event\, please use the Facebook Live link on the night of the event.)
