POSTPONED: The Unimpeachable Values of the US Constitution and the Future of American Democracy

*Please note that this event has been cancelled until further notice*

Rep. Raskin will discuss both the essential time-proven values of the Constitution under attack by the present administration and the structural weaknesses in the Constitution which helped give rise to the Trumpian reign of error and corruption in the first place. He argues for an expansive reconstruction of democratic institutions—by replacing the electoral college with popular-vote presidential elections, by overthrowing the Citizens United decision and instituting small donor-driven public campaign finance, and passing statehood for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico and continuing the”trajectory of democratic progress in America.
