volunteer for aaldef: voter discrimination interviews

Yesterday, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund coordinated a 5-state election protection project with the help of many volunteer lawyers, law students and community activists. But the task doesn't end there.

Now, they're in the process of interviewing voters who faced discrimination, reviewing incidents for analysis, and recording fact patterns that violate the federal Voting Rights Act or Help America Vote Act. And they could use your help:
