Defining Democracy: Navigating Election Integrity In Nevada Oct. 17

The Nevada Scholars Strategy Network, the Center for Community Change, Make the Road NV, UNLV People Power, and UNLV Sociology Club are excited to host an evening of learning, networking, and collective imagination focused on safeguarding U.S. democracy in Nevada and beyond. This event is designed to bring students and faculty together with community members and organizers who want to learn about election administration in our state and at the federal level and think through how to create and support durable democratic institutions and processes that can withstand threats wherever and however they may originate.

Location: Beverly Rogers Literature and Law Building (RLL) 101, UNLV campus,  Las Vegas, NV

Date: Thursday, Oct 17, 2024, 4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Register to Attend

Please join us for an open reception (4 p.m.), a teach-in featuring scholars of democracy from the UNLV community (4:15 - 5:15 p.m.), the introduction of a scenario-based experimental game developed by Community Change partners that lets participants act out different threats to democracy and imagine responses (5:30 - 6:30 p.m.), and a hosted happy hour (6:30 - 7:30 p.m.). We welcome participants for any portion of the evening or our entire program!
