Join Tanya Rhodes Smith, MSW, Director of the Nancy A. Humphreys Institute for Political Social Work, and Alberto Cifuentes, Jr., LMSW, VotER Social Work Team Lead, for a discussion of the nuts and bolts of how to actively engage your clients and communities in voter registration efforts. Learn about the barriers and misconceptions surrounding voting as well as how to use VotER's Healthy Democracy Kit and other tools to register people to vote or vote safely at home via mail. They will also be joined by Ayesha Wilson, MSW, the first black woman who grew up in Cambridge Housing Authority housing to serve on the school committee in Cambridge, MA; she has also been endorsed by NASW-MA PACE.
