RSVP for this free virtual event

Join us for a live virtual event featuring the authors of the new book, Filibustered! How to Fix the Broken Senate and Save America. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and his former chief of staff Mike Zamore make the case that Congress’s decline began 50 years ago with the introduction of the “no-talk” filibuster and that returning that tool of legislative debate to its original, rarely used form will do much to restore order to the legislature. With moderator Kimberly Atkins Stohr of the Boston Globe, they will discuss the obstacles facing a cohesive, functioning Congress, as well as the surprisingly simple fix that could stem the disorder and restore faith in this vital governing body.

Speakers: Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Coauthor of Filibustered! // Mike Zamore, National Policy and Government Affairs Director, ACLU; Coauthor of Filibustered! // Moderator: Kimberly Atkins Stohr, Senior Opinion Writer, Columnist, Boston Globe
