What we'll cover

An honest conversation about where we are

What the patterns of democratic erosion actually look like. What's distinct about this moment. Why people who've spent their careers defending American institutions are stepping forward now to warn of encroaching authoritarianism — and how local civic organizing pushes back.

Q&A

You'll get to ask your questions. After the conversation, we'll take live audience questions — from people in the room and from online viewers.
