Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Kelly Chambers, the lead Field Organizer for HeadCount’s in Philadelphia, to discuss voting and voter registration. A non-partisan organization, Headcount uses the power of music, art, pop-culture and community to promote participation in democracy.

Founded in 2004 by Andy Bernstein and musician Marc Brownstein, of the Disco Biscuits, HeadCount has deep roots in the music industry and continues to expanded on its original idea of meeting people where they already are. As we are now less than 100 days from Election Day and in our sixth month of a global pandemic, HeadCount continues to innovate. Kelly and Aaron talk about HeadCount’s recent projects and campaigns, including their digital presence, use of QR and text codes, and social media channels. HeadCount and its volunteers seek to spark positive social action and energize people to get involved by making civic participation easy and fun.

In today’s conversation, Aaron and Kelly address the challenges of the pandemic and voting, the misconceptions and misinformation around mail-in ballots, voter suppression, voting ease and accessibility, and more. Kelly and Aaron discuss the upcoming November election and the importance of our vote. What do you need to know? Listen now to find out!
