Many years each voter typically has 2 or more opportunities to have their voice heard and hold their elected officials accountable. But in non-presidential elections participation in some municipalities can be as low as 10%. "Decisions are made by those who show up." We'll talk about the power of each citizen to effect change and have their voice heard in their democracy!

The Democracy Group and ActiVote present a panel discussion with:

• Mila Atmos, Host of Future Hindsight
• Debi Lombardi, Program director for National Voter Registration Day
• Ted Getschman, Director for MaximumVoting.org
• Shakira Mills, Deputy Chief of Staff for the Bridge Alliance
• Chuck Corra, Associate Director for Generation Citizen

A recording and transcripts of this event are available at democracygroup.org.
