SUMMARY:Tent Talk: Lauren Groh-Wargo - Voting in Georgia
DESCRIPTION:When Larry David ended his twelve season run playing himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm\, he chose to highlight a provision of SB 202 passed in 2021.The first “election integrity law” in the wake of the 2020 election. This legislation effectively bars third-party groups or anyone else who is not an election worker from providing food and water to voters waiting in line within a 150-foot radius of a polling place. Larry David succinctly summarizes why he chose to hone in on SB202\, “This law is insane.” While it makes for very funny television\, it is far from funny for the citizens of Georgia. \nLauren Groh-Wargo\, CEO of Fair Fight\, will breakdown how Georgia has led the way at making it harder for certain Georgians to vote. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nLauren Groh-Wargo is a top political\, democracy and civic engagement strategist\, executive\, and fighter for economic justice. In 2012\, Lauren began a partnership with Stacey Abrams to chart and then execute a ten-year plan to build power and policy wins for Georgia through supporting existing and building new civic engagement infrastructure. Spurred by wide scale voter suppression during the 2018 election\, Lauren founded and is the CEO of Fair Fight Action\, which focuses on fighting voter suppression and advancing voting rights. Fair Fight Action brings the full force of strategic campaign tactics and culturally relevant engagement and voter education to those most targeted by suppression and disinformation.  Fair Fight played a leading national and battleground state role in the 2020 election and in the 2021 Georgia runoff. \nLauren started her career by organizing tenants to improve living conditions in Brooklyn\, New York. An organizer at heart\, Lauren has led or advised campaigns\, nonprofit organizations\, donors and leaders over the past 22 years in states in every region and at the national level. Raised near Cleveland\, Ohio\, she holds a degree in Economics from American University. Lauren resides in Atlanta\, Georgia with her partner and nine-year-old son.
