The Project 21 black leadership network delegation, Horace Cooper, Deroy Murdock, and Council Nedd II, are scheduled to meet with Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights
Ivan Simonovic and human rights officer Giorgia Passarelli at United
Nations headquarters in New York City on June 13 at 3:00 PM eastern.
The meeting comes almost three months to the day after NAACP activists
met with OHCHR staff in Geneva, Switzerland to claim that voter protection laws unfairly target minorities.
Project 21 members plan to discuss the potential disfranchisement of
Americans of all ethnicities and backgrounds if ballot integrity is not
safeguarded — presenting U.N. officials with examples of illegal voting
behavior that was documented and oftentimes prosecuted. Cooper, Murdock
and Nedd will note that additional rights that Americans hold dear will
be at risk without the ability to cast a ballot without fear of vote
fraud.
