America the Voiceless
All Americans have a voice, but too many Americans face roadblocks when it comes to casting their votes.

The hosts of this podcast, journalists Maria Elena Perez and Nikki Rojas, speak to lawmakers, historians, non-profit leaders and everyday people to unpack the barriers many Americans have to overcome to make sure that their voices are heard during the voting process.
