Unchain Democracy: Restoring Power to the Majority

About

In her award-winning book, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, renowned author and historian Nancy Maclean uncovers the 60-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and fundamentally upend the rules of democratic governance by shifting control from a popular majority to a wealthy minority.

Join MacLean in person and other movement leaders for an in-depth look at both our history and our hoped-for future in which the very rules of democracy itself are re-written to create a stronger, more inclusive democracy. Congress’s new “For The People Act”, as well as state and municipal structural democracy reforms underway across the country, are signs that both our leaders in Washington and activists in the states understand the centrality of this battle. With our guests, we’ll discuss how these democratic reforms, familiar and unfamiliar, can redress the imbalance of power in America, and where and how funders might join the struggle to "unchain democracy."

A signed copy of the book will be available to all participants.
