Why hasn’t decades of reform fixed Congress? And what can be done to change that? Brennan Center’s @kornbergmaya.bsky.social joined @catherinelhamon.bsky.social to discuss her new book, Stuck, at @goldmanschool.bsky.social.

My hopes for our democracy’s future

The Voting Rights Act “has not been dealt a ‘blow’” by the Supreme Court, Vann R. Newkirk II argues. “The law is dead, and no matter what happens in the coming elections, politics in America has been forever changed.”

Join the Edley Center for Law & Democracy on March 4th for a panel feat. three experienced former federal prosecutors & the President of Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington to discuss the democracy harm of unchecked public corruption. RSVP: bit.ly/4abYm8V

“States create new possibilities. Meaningful civil rights infrastructure at the state level includes nondiscrimination protections & a functioning & transparent enforcement apparatus.” Catherine E. Lhamon & Katy Joseph talk about how states protect civil rights. www.statesforum.org/january-book...

Important thread

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Good to see this university standing for fairness — including regarding speech critical of the university— and for students. Thank you for sharing @amyspitalnick.bsky.social

I was glad to talk federal education policy, focused on civil rights and the danger to democracy we live now, yesterday with colleagues @harvardeducation.bsky.social, encouraging all of us to act now to protect core rights

Good to see this effort: www.protectpubliced.org
