California has put in place a set of reforms aimed at expanding voter turnout and reducing the “participation gaps” along racial, ethnic, and age lines that have long created a divide between our population and our electorate.  Have these changes – including the Voter’s Choice Act, changes in the timing of local elections, and programs such as Track My Ballot – resulted in measurable impacts on participation?  The UC’s multicampus New Electorate Project has conducted a series of surveys, randomized field experiments, and studies of the phased implementation of reforms to provide rigorous evidence assessing these impacts.  Faculty from the five participating campuses will present findings that assess the effects of California’s voting rights expansions.

Presented by Kayla Bitten, CCE- a doula, traditional midwifery student, and childbirth and lactation educator. She is the founder and executive director of The Postpartum Clinic and director of community group, Coloring Between The Lines (CBTL). This webinar will help registrants

This monthly educational series is an exploration of the science of human lactation which aims to deepen understanding and explain our shared clinical observations. We look forward to showcasing researchers who have made it their lives’ work to contribute to an ever-growing foundation of science that will ultimately strengthen the roles that breastfeeding and human lactation play in the health of the lactating parent, child and family.
