A governing majority in the United States has never required an actual majority of the voting population. And the tactics of minority control are always shifting. A minority of Americans is now set on thwarting the will of the people through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and even election subversion. In his new book, Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People — and the Fight to Resist It, voting rights reporter Ari Berman charts the rise of this antidemocracy movement in the face of the country’s significant demographic and political shifts.

Join us for a virtual discussion with Berman and former West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant about how reactionary conservatives have capitalized on structural inequalities in our institutions, like the Senate and the Supreme Court, to entrench their power, as well as the pro-democracy movement striving against these regressive efforts.

Speakers: Ari Berman, Author of Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People — and the Fight to Resist It; National Voting Rights Correspondent, Mother Jones // Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Former West Virginia Secretary of State
