This month's guest speaker joins us from the League of Women Voters to educate us on voting rights for the upcoming election.

As a voter in the United States (US), you have rights. Over the past 250 years as a country, the US has gone through many changes to who can vote and how. Voting is one of the most important ways we can shape our future and reinforce our democratic principles. But sometimes the process can feel intimidating. One way to feel more confident when you go to the polls is to know your Election Day rights.

The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920, six months before women's right to vote was secured through the 19th Amendment. Since then, the League and others have fought to expand and secure voting rights.

Join us for a discussion about the current rights voters are guaranteed by law, how to respond if there are election issues or to report any illegal behaviors, and how to handle various situations at the polls this year. By being informed, we help ensure the safety and security of our elections.

Socialize with other freethinkers, grab a snack, and enjoy a presentation on an interesting topic. Also learn what the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers is doing.

RSVP now!

This meeting will be conducted in person at the UU Church in Little Rock and via [YouTube Live on the Channel for the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers.](https://www.youtube.com/user/ArkansasFreethinkers)

We're meeting the 4th Sunday of each month at 2 PM.

The event will be held in the reading room at Pocket Dimension Bookshoppe in Argenta.

Book for October will be Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Publisher's description: “Ever since childhood,” writes Neil deGrasse Tyson, “I’ve wanted to be abducted by Aliens.”

Take Me to Your Leader is the culmination of a lifetime of fascination, speculation, and the amassing of scientific data about the possibility of Aliens visiting Earth. Drawing on a wealth of depictions from history, literature, pop culture, and film, Tyson applies the universal laws of physics to make the case for what Aliens might look like, act like, how they might travel through the universe to reach us, and what they might think of us upon arrival. Should such an event occur, Tyson further offers useful etiquette tips for your first close encounter.

If you’ve ever wondered why there are so many UFO sightings, or whether Aliens might already be among us, Tyson offers an informed perspective that is both factual and fun. Take Me to Your Leader is a tantalizing exploration of what would be the most mind-blowing experience of your life—the book for anyone who has ever wondered: Are we alone?

Please RSVP so we will have a general idea of attendance size.
