The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will host a voting rights workshop tomorrow at the Alabama State House in Montgomery. 

"This event offers an opportunity to engage directly with legislators and share personal stories about how laws in the state impact marginalized communities, families, and all Alabamians," said a press release from the SPLC.

"College students, young adult voters, and others will also learn the lobbying process and learn the status of pending legislation currently up for debate on the House floor."

SPLC will be joined by Black Voters Matter, Alabama Forward, ACLU Alabama, Alabama Values, League of Women Voters, and other partner organizations. 

Jerome Dees, Alabama Policy Director at SPLC, will host a press conference at 9:30 a.m. The workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the State House on 11 South Union Street, Room 807.
