About this event

Now more than ever, we’re at a precipice balancing hope and hopelessness. Many people struggle to know how to help, what to do, and what impactful change looks like with the tools they have access to. Tipping the scale towards hope, three Third Eye Collective members capitalized on their creative strengths to solve a relevant democratic challenge: election education. Hear from Election ABCs co-creators designer Anjali Chandrashekar, activist Palika Makam, and writer Shivani Persad as they talk about harnessing creativity to drive meaningful change even in the face of ambiguity.

We are proud to partner with Ethel's Club on this event. They are offering ONE WEEK FREE of membership to folks who RSVP!

Election ABCs Story: We are activists, writers, and designers who created Election ABCs to be a resource that educates, empowers, and engages people to not only vote, but better understand our political system. When it comes to elections, we believe there are no dumb questions and that everyone deserves access to information that can lead them towards making the best most informed decision for themselves and their communities. So we decided to explain it all - from A-Z, to help our peers navigate the U.S. elections in an accessible way

Anjali Chandrashekar (she/her) is a designer, strategist, visual storyteller making experiences at the intersection of design, technology and social innovation. She uses art as activism to strengthen social movements and has worked with organizations like the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs, UNEP and FAO to create visual campaigns that educate global audiences, raise awareness and spur dialogue. She’s worked across companies like Doblin and Dalberg Design, and has represented her work at the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos.

Palika Makam (she/her) is a media activist who has produced video advocacy campaigns and trained activists all over the world – from Ferguson to The West Bank. At WITNESS, Palika leads the US immigration focused work with Eyes on ICE – a project dedicated to supporting directly impacted communities and allies to document abuses against immigrant communities and use video to fight deportations and advocate for immigrant rights.

Shivani Persad (she/her) is a full-time model, writer and labour activist from Toronto, Canada.
