#WhoCounts? Barriers to Immigrant Voting in North Carolina

#WhoCounts gives voice to marginalized immigrant communities who seek the same rights as all other U.S. citizens. It focuses on questions of who counts as an American, whose vote counts, and who is doing the counting. TPC is joining other independent media in harnessing the transformative power of journalism to show how people in our Durham community are directly impacted by the political debate on immigration. On Friday, October 14, 2016 the Media Consortium, a national network of independent news outlets, and the People’s Channel, Chapel Hill’s community TV station, co-hosted a press briefing on barriers immigrant citizens face to voting in North Carolina. Watch this video, #WhoCounts North Carolina, to hear how voter rights and changing demographics intersect in North Carolina.
