Department Summary
The UCLA Voting Rights Project (VRP) is an interdisciplinary academic research center aimed at ensuring equitable and accessible voting for all Americans.The UCLA VRP was founded by Dr. Matt A. Barreto (Division of Social Sciences, Luskin School of Public Affairs) and Chad W. Dunn (School of Law, Luskin School of Public Affairs) to address three significant and overlooked gaps in the voting rights field: training newly graduated lawyers and social science expert witnesses; developing new legal and social science theories for voting rights cases; and advancing voting rights through national and local public policy. The mission of the UCLA VRP is to provide hands-on clinical training to future lawyers, public policy officials, and social scientists while calling attention to the voting rights obstacles faced today in underserved towns, cities, and counties across the country. In the past six years, we have trained hundreds of students through our course and clinic, with more than 75% being students of color.The UCLA VRP focuses on three action areas: - Inter-disciplinary and hands-on clinical education with students from UCLA School of Law, the Luskin School of Public Policy and Division of Social Sciences; - Impact litigation and legal advocacy focused on creating representation and access to voting for communities in underserved towns, cities, school boards, and counties; and - Academic research on voting issues such as voting patterns, voter turnout, and language justice that can be directly translated into policy advocacy and policy implementation.The focus on local, historically and routinely disenfranchised communities as the first stop for voting rights litigation marks the UCLA VRP as a unique public-service project.
