SUMMARY:Protecting the Right to Vote: One ID at a Time with Lauren Kunis\, CEO VoteRiders
DESCRIPTION:BigTent is thrilled to host a Tent Talk with VoteRiders’ CEO and Executive Director\, Lauren Kunis. \nWe will also be writing letters to North Carolina voters who have very strict voter ID laws and we need your help to ensure that every voter in North Carolina has the ID they need as they prepare for the upcoming election season. \nEach letter we send delivers essential information and assistance to the voters most likely to be disenfranchised by voter ID laws in North Carolina. \nVoteRiders is a non-partisan\, non-profit organization with a mission to ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their freedom to vote. VoteRiders informs and helps citizens to secure their voter ID as well as inspires and supports organizations\, local volunteers\, and communities to sustain voter ID education and assistance efforts. \nKathleen Unger founded VoteRiders in 2012 as a direct response to the increasing number of stringent voter ID laws across the country. \nToday\, their team works alongside thousands of partner organizations and an ever-growing community of 10\,000 volunteers across the country. \nAbout our Speaker: \nLauren Kunis has spent her career working to strengthen democracy at home and around the world\, designing and managing impactful voter education\, civic engagement\, and government accountability programs. Lauren most recently worked at Nonprofit VOTE\, where she was the National Voter Registration Day program director and led the holiday to a record-setting number of voter registrations in 2020. She previously worked at the nonpartisan National Democratic Institute and the World Bank on democracy and governance programs in over 15 countries in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. Domestically\, Lauren has worked on national political campaigns\, served on the Steering Committee for the DC Paid Family Leave campaign\, and worked as an NYC Urban Fellow in the Bloomberg administration. Lauren has a BA with honors in Government from Cornell University and an MPA in Public and Nonprofit Management from New York University. She lives in Washington\, DC with her husband and their two young children.
