The #CivicHealthConference is about to begin! @AlisterFMartin is ready, are you?
Deborah Turner, President of @LWV is giving the first keynote, on how the 2020 election was historic in participation, and the pandemic prompted needed changes to allow voting to be accessible, safe, and secure, and how we can continue to protect voters' rights.
We're very excited to announce that @LWV and @Vot_ER_org are partnering to mobilize healthcare providers for the purpose of civic engagement!
. @AlisterFMartin recounts a poignant story about a patient and her children escaping a dangerous home situation and coming to the ER. Oftentimes, by the time a patient comes to the ER, the problems they face are systemic issues.
The demographic overlap between unregistered eligible voters and marginalized patient groups is large - @Vot_ER_org gets Healthy Democracy Kits and posters out to healthcare providers to help their patients vote.
You can follow @Vot_ER_org.
