One ticket for all three lectures

We are now three major election cycles since Donald Trump blew up American democracy in 2016. The fight for voting and democracy are center stage as we work toward a more just and inclusive world. We stand in the eye of the hurricane: we are surviving an onslaught of voter suppression and we are making genuine progress in the fight to vote, AND an extremely conservative Supreme Court is poised any day now to potentially overturn the power -- the common power -- of a democratic electorate making their voices heard.

This course, consisting of three related lectures, will explore the fight for the right to vote and American democracy with a clear eye toward 2024. Brick by brick, the battle for building a more just and inclusive democracy is at hand. Note: this is an encore version of the Institute for Common Power course offered in January 2023. The content will be 80% the same as that series, with 20% updated to reflect developments, including in regard to cases before the US Supreme Court.
