  • Can We Save American Democracy?
    Date: April 16, 2025
    Location: Online
    Category: Webinar

    In a recent article, Steven Levitsky, Professor of Government at Harvard University and co-author of How Democracies Die, predicts that “U.S. democracy will likely break down during the second Trump administration, in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for liberal democracy: full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties.” In this online event, two leaders of national pro-democracy organizations will explain what they are doing to prove him wrong. Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Virginia Kase Solomón, President and CEO of Common Cause, will join Levitsky in a discussion about what the strategies of pro-democracy movements are in this moment, whether they will be enough, and what else can be done. Archon Fung, Director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, will moderate.

    When: 4pm to 5pm Eastern

The Ballot Verifier 
A new standard in transparency
