This year, we saw extraordinary threats to American democracy: an executive power grab, threats to voting rights, and more. Yet there has also been a growing response, from the courts to ordinary citizens. What happened? And what can we expect next?

Join us virtually as Brennan Center experts discuss issues including elections, the Supreme Court, and corruption.

Speakers: Sean Morales-Doyle, Director, Voting Rights and Elections Program // Katherine Yon Ebright, Counsel, Liberty and National Security Program // Wendy Weiser, Vice President, Democracy Program // Daniel I. Weiner, Director, Elections and Government Program // Moderator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO

In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not guarantee a fundamental right to education. But some scholars and advocates argue that the Court got it wrong. Is education essential to our democracy? What might change if we interpreted the Constitution to protect this right? And what should we make of the guarantees to education found in state constitutions? Learn more in a conversation with Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, and constitutional law scholar Derek Black, with remarks from New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin.
