You can be in the room where it happens, after all!

American Democracy Summit is just around the corner, and we want you in the room for this truly incredible moment for our movement. ADS is bringing together the brightest minds from across the political spectrum: people with the proven strategies and innovative ideas to make real, transformative changes to our broken system. That's why we're excited to offer you free access to the following panels:

• Wednesday: 
• 3:30-4:30 p.m. PST: Mapping A Better Democracy: Ending Gerrymandering Through Independent Redistricting 
  Rampant political and racial gerrymandering threatens the health of our democracy, but fully-empowered independent redistricting commissions are the cure. In 2008, California Common Cause led a coalition that ended gerrymandering in California, and they’ve been spearheading successful pro-voter initiatives ever since. We’ll discuss how we can work state-by-state to end gerrymandering across the country.

• Thursday:
• 9:30-10:30 a.m. PST: Democracy Dollars: The Future Of Campaign Finance Reform
  Too often, candidates for local office are bought and paid for by outside special interest groups and wealthy donors. Democracy Vouchers create a campaign finance system where every voter has a voice - and a voucher that they can give to the political candidate of their choice. Join us for a discussion on how we organize for an open and equitable campaign finance system.

• 1:30-3 p.m. PST: Women of Color Leading Democracy: Occupying All Spaces At All Times
  Women of color are the frontline defenders of democracy across the United States. As they work to empower their communities, they face disproportionate threats from those who hold entrenched power. We’ll share what we learned from Democracy Rising’s recent WOC Democracy Transformation Summit and discuss how WOC experience the democracy spaces in which they work, how to build solidarity with one another, identify allies, and how to navigate misogyny and racism.

• 3:30-4:30 p.m. PST: Unsilencing the Vote: Fighting for Voting Rights in Suppression Hot Spots
  Across the nation, state legislatures are using their states as voter suppression testing labs, passing escalating attacks on voters' rights. In this panel hear from leaders working in the belly of the beast, leading organizations that are fighting for the democracies their states deserve. From legal challenges, to lobbying to grassroots mobilization and voter turnout, these organizations are demonstrating that democracy is a verb.

• Friday: 
• 9:30-11:00 a.m. PST: Empowering Democracy: The Intersection of Race, Rights, and Ranked Choice Voting
  Is RCV a catalyst for racial justice and empowerment of historically disenfranchised communities? There is a growing body of evidence that points to a powerful “Yes.” However, navigating this transformative path requires thoughtful consideration and a nuanced approach. Join us for an insightful exploration of key questions, experiences, and essential facts, empowering voting rights activists to pursue this opportunity with purpose and intent.
