						About the Program
						With a highly consequential election fast approaching, what does the political landscape look like in California and the nation? A panel of top political journalists will assess the mood of the electorate and discuss themes and issues that are likely to shape the outcome in November. 
						PPIC’s Speaker Series on California’s Future invites thought leaders and changemakers with diverse perspectives to participate critically, constructively, and collaboratively in public conversations. The purpose is to give Californians a better understanding of how our leaders are addressing the challenges facing our state.
