About this listen

Let's examine the systemic challenges of voter suppression in the South. In this episode of Southern Gumption, we speak to Dom Kelly of New Disabled South and Jenny McKenny of Vote Riders to explore barriers to voting, from inaccessible polling places to discriminatory voter ID laws. Dom and Jenny also shed light on the resilience of communities working tirelessly to ensure every vote is counted and highlight the innovative solutions and advocacy efforts of their organizations. Discover stories of triumph, like voters overcoming obstacles with determination and the support of grassroots organizations. This episode challenges us to rethink what accessibility and equity in voting really mean and reminds us of the power of collective action.

Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li (he/him/they/them), presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice, and produced by Earfluence.
