Concerned about voting in November? Want
your vote accurately cast and counted? If the answer is yes, please
join us for an open-to-the-public community meeting. A panel of
national voting rights experts along with key local leaders will discuss
the issues followed by a time for audience questions. Focused on who can vote in South
Carolina and how to do so, specific topics will include voting by
provisional ballot, voter intimidation, student voting, voting by people
with disabilities, and voting by people with past criminal convictions.
This event is sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union
and supported by a coalition of concerned local and state organizations
including the League of Women Voters, SC Pride, YWCA of Greenville, SC Progressive
Network, Alliance for Full Acceptance, the Center for Women, and the
Coalition for New South Carolinians.

Know Your Rights: What to Do If You're Stopped by
the Police
To fight police abuse effectively you need to know your
rights. There are some things you should do, some things you must do and
some things you cannot do. If you are in the middle of a police encounter,
you need a handy and quick reference to remind you what your rights and obligations
are.
Carry it in your wallet, pocket, or glove compartment to
give you quick access to your rights and obligations concerning police
encounters.
