On Wednesday, June 3, Independent Voting President Jackie Salit hosted a Zoom event titled “How Can We Move Forward in Anger and Determination? An Independents’ Dialogue on Current Events, Protest and Political Power.” The event took place in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers and the public outcry for justice that resulted. Salit was joined by three distinguished guests: Michael Hardy, Executive Director and General Counsel of the National Action Network and Rev. Al Sharpton; David Cherry, leader of the All Stars Project in Chicago and President of the Leaders Network; and Dr. Jessie Fields, physician, front-line activist for democracy reform and Independent Voting board member.
