Steve Adubato speaks with Shennell McCloud, CEO of Project Ready, a social justice organization, about the ways voting policies have changed over the years, the racial wealth gap in New Jersey, and the importance of representation and diversity in the nation’s democracy.

Steve Adubato and Shennell McCloud discuss current changes in voting, and issues of racial inequities in voting. Shennell says ” the differences between what was happening in your day versus what’s happening in the current day is making sure that people have all opportunities to access Democracy. We’re now seeing people who are voting by mail, we’re seeing people who are engaging in our early voting process which was just initiated in this last election, and we’re seeing people turn out to the polls now that it’s safe.” She adds “We need to make sure all of our county clerks have the resources and tools they need to be able to educate the voter about how they can engage in democracy.”
