Why does American democracy look the way it does today and how can we make it more responsive to the people it was formed to serve? Democracy Decoded, Campaign Legal Center’s Webby award-winning podcast, examines our government and discusses innovative ideas that could lead to a stronger, more transparent, accountable and inclusive democracy.
In Season 1, Simone Leeper, Democracy Decoded'soutstanding host, focused on campaign finance issues – providing insightful interviews with experts from across the country and across the political spectrum on the influence of money in our political system.
Airing last fall, Season 2 focused on voting rights, utilizing guest expertise and the stories of actual voters to analyze how differing laws and regulations impact the freedom to vote.
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center is dedicated to advancing democracy through law at the federal, state and local levels, fighting for every American’s rights to responsive government and a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the democratic process.
