Tent Talk: Voting Access with CT’s Secretary of State and National Vote at Home Institute
2024-10-17 12:00 - 13:00
BigTent welcomed Connecticut’s Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas and Barbara Smith Warner, Executive Director of Vote at Home (VAH). Voting turnout often reflects how accessible voting is for eligible voters. Currently, only 8 states and Washington, DC, automatically sends ballots to all active voters, allowing them to return the ballots by mail, or in-person, and track their vote with the option to correct any errors.
Connecticut voters are now considering a constitutional amendment to permit no-excuse absentee voting, which would broaden access and make voting simpler for everyone. Our speakers discussed why accessible voting is crucial, and explored ways to support this important reform in Connecticut and beyond.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Stephanie Thomas was sworn in as Connecticut’s Secretary of the State on January 4, 2023. With a distinguished 30-year career advising and problem-solving for nonprofit organizations, running her own business, and serving as a State Representative of the 143rd District (Norwalk, Wilton, Westport), Secretary Thomas brings a unique blend of business expertise and a passion for civics to public service.

Since taking office, Secretary Thomas has led the implementation of significant election reforms in the state, including the roll-out of early voting and a new centralized voter registration system. In September 2023, she secured a historic investment of $25 million to replace the state’s aging tabulators, marking Connecticut’s first voting machine upgrade since 2006. During her term, Secretary Thomas will also institute the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of Connecticut and automatic voter registration at several Connecticut agencies.

A former small business owner, Secretary Thomas has worked to pass business-friendly legislation, and she has created a monthly e-newsletter that aggregates funding and training resources in one place to save business owners’ time.
Barbara Smith Warner serves as the Executive Director of the National Vote at Home Institute, a national non-profit that works to promote and expand the use of mailed-out ballots that allow all voters to safely and securely vote at home (the Oregon way!). Voting at home is foundational democracy that centers every voter in their right to vote and dramatically increases both turnout and participation. Barbara served 9 years (2014-2022) as an Oregon state representative, including almost 3 years as the Majority Leader of the Oregon House. She is a lifetime democracy defender who has worked as a legislative educator and political organizer, and is deeply committed to an open, accessible government that is of, for and by the people.

Cornhuskers Countdown: Nebraska and the 2026 Midterms
2026-03-19 12:00 - 13:00
On Thursday, March 19, BigTentUSA convened a TentTalk discussion highlighting the political stakes in Nebraska ahead of the 2026 midterms.
With Aaron Parnas as moderator, independent candidate for U.S. Senate Dan Osborn pointed to rising living costs and a worsening economic outlook for farmers—driven by flawed economic policies and tariffs—as the defining pressures shaping voter sentiment. He made clear that these challenges are fueling a growing demand for change—and that voters have the power to demand better.
Osborn called for meaningful campaign finance reform, arguing that local races should not require massive sums of money and that elected officials must remain accountable to constituents, not special interests. As a longtime registered Independent, he also urged participants to think beyond party lines and actively support candidates based on their ideas, integrity, and experience. The conversation positioned Nebraska as a critical proving ground for a broader movement toward accountability and reform.
Osborn closed with a powerful call to action, encouraging immediate support for Nebraskans affected by the largest wildfire in the state’s history—and reminding everyone that showing up for one another is where real change begins.
Support Nebraskans affected by the wildfires:

Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund
Nebraska Sandhills Rancher Fire Relief Fund
United Way of Western Nebraska
American Red Cross Nebraska Region
The Salvation Army
Nebraska Wildfire Recovery Fund

Courageous Citizenship: Bridging the Divide
2026-04-09 12:00 - 13:00
On April 9, BigTentUSA convened a timely conversation featuring Randy Freeman and Michael Asbury of Braver Angels, the nation’s largest cross-partisan volunteer movement working to bridge America’s political divide. Moderated by Jess Piper, Executive Director of Blue Missouri, the trio explored how Americans can better navigate political differences. Drawing on lived experiences, Jess noted a shift in her rural Missouri community, where some previously loyal MAGA voters are beginning to question the Trump Administration as policies more directly affect their daily lives.
Speakers shared practical techniques for engaging across divides, grounded in real-world examples of communities working through deep disagreement. A central theme was focusing on what individuals can control: their own mindset, how they listen, and how they communicate. Participants were encouraged to approach conversations with curiosity, while also recognizing when it’s more productive to disengage from those unwilling to listen. The discussion emphasized that this work unfolds over time, positioning the Braver Angels approach as a long-term investment in rebuilding trust and strengthening civic dialogue.

Ready, Set, Vote: Removing Barriers to the Ballot
2026-06-09 12:00 - 13:00
Democracy works best when everyone can participate—and that starts with making sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot.
At this BigTentUSA TentTalk held on June 9, VoteRiders’ Sylvester Johnson III joined activist and organizer Jessica Craven for a practical conversation about one of the biggest barriers to voting: voter ID requirements. Johnson explained that more than 34 million voting-age Americans lack a current government-issued ID, while 38 states require identification to vote. He outlined how VoteRiders helps voters navigate often confusing state rules, obtain supporting documents such as birth certificates, secure transportation to ID offices, and successfully complete the process from start to finish.
The discussion also explored broader threats to voter participation, strategies for increasing turnout, and the importance of grassroots engagement. Attendees learned how simple actions—letter writing, texting, sharing information, and helping neighbors prepare to vote—can make a measurable difference.
The takeaway was clear: Whether you live in a battleground state or not, there are concrete ways to help ensure every eligible voter can make their voice heard.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
Sylvester Johnson III serves as the Voter Outreach & Data Manager for VoteRiders. A Georgia native, Sylvester’s commitment to civic engagement began in high school through his work with organizations such as the Special Olympics of Georgia.

2026-08-12 12:00 - 13:00
Democracy doesn’t defend itself—people do.
At BigTentUSA’s August 12 workshop, BigTentUSA’s Voter Engagement Coordinator Samantha Cohen kicked off the conversation by sharing how BigTent’s 2026 letter-writing campaign is mobilizing members to reach voters directly. Cohen explained the difference between VoteRiders’ voter ID outreach and Vote Forward’s turnout efforts, walked participants through requesting and mailing letters, and highlighted why handwritten notes can cut through today’s digital noise. She also shared that BigTent members have already written more than 1,000 letters this summer.
VoteRiders CEO and Executive Director Lauren Kunis detailed how restrictive and changing ID laws can create significant barriers to voting—and how targeted outreach can make a measurable difference. In Texas, 92% of voters contacted through VoteRiders’ letter campaign after having a ballot rejected successfully voted in the next election.
Together, Cohen and Kunis equipped participants with the tools, information, and motivation to take action. Now it’s time to pick up a pen, write a letter, and help make every eligible voter’s voice count!
