• 10/19/2026 – Inside the Ballot Box: Election Security in 2026 – 5-5:30pm – Zoom - Join Volunteer Blue as Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon pulls back the curtain on the multi-layered security measures that protect our election systems from fraud. Simon will discuss how US voting is distributed across more than 10,000 independent election jurisdictions managed separately by state and local governments. He’ll describe how this dispersed election system offers widespread protection through distinct local rules about voting processes, equipment, paper trails, ballot chain of custody, and post-election audits. This makes it virtually impossible for bad actors to execute an attack that would alter election outcomes on any scale: local, state or national. In this 30-minute Zoom, you’ll learn about 

  • Election mischief, such as deceptive practices and hidden camera stunts inside polling locations 

  • Potential challenges from federal actions or immigration enforcement at polling sites 

  • Proposed federal legislation, such as the Minnesota Voter Integrity Act, that could harm local election infrastructure funding 

  • Ways to address voter fears, acknowledging concerns and reassuring voters

When nearly 40,000 Venezuelan migrants arrived in Denver between 2023 and 2024, the city faced an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. In this urgent, deeply personal World Premiere documentary, Denver-based filmmakers Rebekah Henderson and Lilah Park capture the extraordinary network of local neighbors who stepped up when the system broke—organizing food, rides, warm clothing, and temporary shelter in the freezing winter cold. But as grassroots efforts collide with hard questions of accountability, financial strain, and systemic burnout, Good Help turns a sharp, empathetic lens on our own backyard, delivering a gripping and vital portrait of civic responsibility, community power, and what it truly takes to care for one another.
