Liz Krueger, Christine Marie Sierra, Sally Kohn, Signe Wilkinson and Nancy Abudu discuss how we can succeed in making wider political participation a reality in the United States, and how gender, race, and class impact the realities of who votes and whose votes are counted. This panel discussion, moderated by Lori Minnite, took place at the 33rd annual Scholar and Feminist Conference, “The State of Democracy: Gender and Political Participation,” on March 1, 2008 at Barnard College.
