Voting is fundamental to democracy, but American trust in “one person, one vote” has been compromised in recent years by Electoral College outcomes, allegations of voter suppression and voter fraud, and gerrymandering of congressional district boundaries. The state of our democracy is, of course, integral to that conversation. For this installment of the American Voter Project series, the Eric H. Holder Jr. Initiative for Civil and Political Rights invites you to join us for a conversation on the ways in which our democracy is and isn't working, and how we can remain galvanized and mobilized as we work toward a shared vision for a reconstituted and functioning democracy.

This is event is co-sponsored by Columba Votes.
