Dear CBAA Family,

Join the Cornell Black Alumni Association for "Empowering Voices," a dynamic voter engagement forum designed to address the political issues that matter most to the Black community. Featuring distinguished Cornellians, including Dr. Basil Smikle Jr. '93, Rubén José King-Shaw Jr. '83, and Dr. Kalisha Dessources Figures '12, this event will explore critical topics such as voter suppression, economic justice, criminal justice reform, higher education, and the role of civic engagement in shaping our future.

We aim to inspire and mobilize educated Ivy League graduates and the broader Black community to take meaningful action in the political process. Through in-depth discussions, audience Q&A, and on-site voter registration opportunities, "Empowering Voices" will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make an impact in upcoming elections and beyond.

Whether you're a seasoned voter or new to the process, this forum offers an inclusive space to engage with leaders, ask questions, and leave empowered to advocate for change in your community. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation and help shape a more just and equitable future.

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom!

Yours in service,

Shannon K. Cohall, Esq. '14

CBAA President
