[CCCNFBW] League of Women Voters to hold three candidate forums in July

[Merribeth Greenberg]

I know you all are thinking What does this have to do with blindness? But
it has to do with voting rights and knowing who we are voting for, who may
be our allies to help us with our issues in Vancouver and Clark County. So
if you're able to go to one of the sessions, I would.
Knowledge is power.
