Candidate Forum in Springdale

YOUR VOICE, YOUR VOTE, YOUR WAY.

Inviting the disability community to come together in Northwest Arkansas for a lively discussion.

A voter education session will be followed by a candidate forum at the Jones Center in Springdale, Arkansas on September 30th from 3pm-7pm.

We build up the power of the disability vote through increasing civic engagement in the disability community. Voter education makes us ready and comfortable to vote. Interacting with candidates helps us understand how they may represent our interests when they are policymaking.

ASL interpretation will be provided.

Where: The Jones Center, 922 E Emma Ave, Room 228, Springdale, AR 72764

When: September 30, 2024 from 3 pm-7 pm
