On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Standing for Democracy and the Free Washington Project hosted a webinar focused on a pressing question: how we can act now to protect our elections from ongoing and multi-faceted threats.
Moderated by longtime activist Cindy Domingo, the discussion brought together leaders from government, labor, and civil society to examine both the current threat landscape and strategies for response. The event centered on two core questions:
What is the current threat environment?
How can we respond and resist?
Speakers addressed both the risks to free and fair elections and the urgent need for coordinated action across sectors. There was a clear consensus that we must move work to engage others in this effort and to build a movement that can save our elections.
Our takeaway: we must be prepared, organized, and ready to act in our streets, precincts, and neighborhoods to protect the right to vote.
