Exhibit Focus Is on Voter Rights

Our right to vote is precious and hard won. In a moving exhibit at the Sam and Adele Golden Gallery, New Berlin, artists reflect on the struggle for the right to vote in this country. In the exhibition catalogue, Gretchen Sorin writes, “The right to vote was so meaningful that these activists petitioned, demonstrated, were arrested and jailed, even beaten and murdered to gain and protect the right to vote. Today, many of us take voting for granted, but it is the cornerstone of our democracy and it enables us to continue to live as free people.” If you need inspiration to make a plan and vote this year, visit this wonderful exhibit. Every election matters, your vote in each election sustains our democracy. Make your voice heard—vote early, vote absentee or vote on Election Day.
