This event has reached capacity.

Join Rev. William J Barber, II as he explores the often-overlooked influence of economically disadvantaged populations in shaping political outcomes. Through a critical examination of his new book “White Poverty” he will address how poor communities, particularly within the white demographic, hold untapped power as a swing vote in elections. Rev. Barber will be joined by a panel of thought leaders and activists to dissect the socio-economic factors, political disenfranchisement, and the potential for these voters to impact future policies. This conversation will shed light on the crucial yet frequently ignored role of poverty in the electoral landscape and its implications for social justice and policy reform.
