Democratic 21st Century Club

With the fate of our democracy at stake in the 2024 elections, our good friend Brent Turner will join us to provide an update on election system security and what can be done to protect the vote.

A community activist for housing, civil rights, and environmental issues, Brent was instrumental in the creation of the San Francisco County Voting Systems Task Force and has been a director of communications for Open Voting Consortium. He has been recognized as a groundbreaking activist for sustainability, and dedicates himself to local, state, and federal voting rights issues.

We look forward to learning more, and we hope you will join us.
