Election season is upon us. Although we know we need to cultivate a long-term agenda for democracy that thinks well beyond election cycles, we are approaching another election where the stakes for democracy could be dire, possibly irreversibly so. The Republican Party and mainstream conservatism in the U.S. have been largely captured by the far-right autocratic movement, and the former president at the center of that capture appears to have a viable path to another term. In order for right-wing extremism to recede in the U.S., it will need to suffer consistent electoral defeat, which will require strategic and sustained opposition from a broad pro-democracy coalition from left to right. Electoral success will also require new strategies that help both major political parties speak to key constituencies who may feel disillusioned or abandoned by the parties as they have been operating. Join us for this Winning Coalition series, in which you will hear from 4 high-performing groups across the political spectrum working in creative ways to ensure that democracy wins at the ballot box in 2024 and long-term.
Note: If you sign up for the series, you will receive calendar invites for each session. Please try to let us know if you are not able to make one of the sessions. Password-protected recordings will be available for a limited time to series registrants who need to miss an individual session. Because we will be discussing electoral politics, no session will be 501(c)(3)-friendly.
