After a long and ugly ride, what are the key takeaways from the  election? Where are we going? And what are the long-term strategies that will fuel the growing movement for a direct and participatory democracy?

We’ll explore voter turnout and behavior among key voting blocks, moneyed interests, electoral reforms and other democratic trends in California and nationally with our distinguished guests, Karen Hobert Flynn, Anne Johnson and Mindy Romero.

Prior to their interactive presentation, you’re invited to join a national webinar debriefing the election with speakers from the Funders Committee for Civic Participation, Piper Fund, Democracy Alliance and Victory 2021. 

Lunch will be provided for registrants of the National Webinar and Panel Discussion.
