Democracy 20/20 Webinar (October 30, 2020)

Polarized: Partisanship, Social Movements, and the Transformation of American Democracy

Parties and movements have long provided a voice to U.S. citizens and connected them to the government, but these mediating roles are in flux. In their place is a more polarized "red" and "blue" America. This October 30 webinar from Democracy 20/20 examines how social movements and changes in the two major political parties are redefining American democracy.
