Overview : We now know the outcome of the 2021 elections in Virginia and New Jersey. They weren’t good for the Democratic Party. President Joe Biden’s public approval ratings are in the low 40s. Republicans this year alone have passed laws further restricting voting rights in more than a dozen states, and they are using lies about Critical Race Theory to racially inflame fear among many whites. All of this points to very tough 2022 midterm elections for those of us committed to a more just and inclusive democracy. So just how bad is the outlook? This lecture will address that question by examining key factors that will likely shape American politics in 2022.

Lecture viewing: This lecture is free, and both (a) will occur live at 5 pm PT on November 30 via Zoom, and (b) will be recorded for everyone to watch on your own timing. Registrants will receive viewing instructions one day in advance of the lecture and then one hour before the lecture.
