DESCRIPTION:Tri-Faith Initiative and the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Department of Religious Studies invite you to the second annual Race\, Religion\, and Social Justice Conference on June 7-8 at the Tri-Faith Commons in Omaha.\nThis year’s theme is “Building Bridges of Hope.” Hope is not simply wishful thinking.

We invite multi-sector approaches — nonprofit and civic leaders\, diversity\, equity\, access\, and inclusion practitioners\, community members\, educators\, physical and mental health practitioners\, artists\, religious communities\, and scholars.\nREGISTER FOR THIS EVENT

SUMMARY:Webinar: Using TROVE to map Nebraska voter turnout
DESCRIPTION:Nebraskans can delve into a TROVE of voter participation rates for their city\, town\, or neighborhood thanks to Civic Nebraska’s new mapping platform. The interactive Tool to Reflect Overall Voter Engagement shows voter turnout from the November 2022 general election down to the ZIP Code and census tract – eg\, neighborhood – levels. In addition\, TROVE compares voter participation against demographic characteristics of census tracts to analyze which may correlate to higher or lower voter turnout.\nJoin our Civic Health Programs and Voting Rights Initiatives teams on Zoom at noon CDT (11 am MDT) on June 15 to discuss the new tool\, its potential uses and best practices\, and how you can share your self-guided findings with the public.\nREGISTER FOR THIS VIRTUAL EVENT HERE
