And that term, election protection, could you define that? When you hear that term, what do you think of?

Yeah.

You know, sometimes when people hear election protection, they assume we're talking about partisan politics.

And perhaps sometimes we are, but I'm not.

You know, election protection is making sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot should they choose to and have that ballot counted accurately and participate without intimidation and unnecessary barriers or confusion.

And I remember back in maybe 2012 or so, I was helping organize Souls to the Polls in Missouri, in St. Louis area in particular.

And we had all these trainings with people about How to engage this work in a nonpartisan way.

And I wonder if you could just describe what led you to go to, I believe it was Montgomery and maybe Selma as well, and how people responded and what was the message of that gathering? And again, it was a rapid response gathering around voting and elections.
