What can America learn from failed democracies around the world, and what does the January 6, 2021, attempt to overturn the election portend for our future?

Join us for the first of three engaging and enlightening sessions where we examine trends that brought us to this point, the unvarnished truth of the threat to our democracy that occurred on January 6, 2021, what states are currently doing to make elections freer and fairer—or less so—and how we can move toward a healthier, more successful democracy.
