As another election season approaches, conversations about voting access, election security, and the general importance of electoral politics are on the forefront of public consciousness. Join Carey Dabney, Member of Moab’s local, nonpartisan League of Women Voters chapter, for a conversation with Moab Museum contributor Christy Williams-Dunton about the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment, the 150th anniversary of the vote for women, and a brief history of Utah’s distinctive legacy.
