NOVEMBER 12, WASHINGTON D.C.

Seizing the Moment:

Fair Elections and the Road to Accountability

🗓️ Thursday, November 12 @ 1 p.m.

📍 101 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, D.C.

Voters sent a clear message on Election Day.

They want a Congress that works for them.


Americans are worried about corruption in Washington and the rising cost of living, and they want a democracy that answers to them. The incoming 120th Congress has a mandate to take on those concerns.


Join Democracy Defenders Action, The American Prospect and The Contrarian for an afternoon with policymakers, members of Congress, and thought leaders across the pro-democracy movement who are united in the goal to ensure our elected officials are putting the needs of ordinary Americans first. We’ll discuss this historic moment, the mandate for our elected officials, and the road to accountability. 

Registration is required.
