Challenges to democracy intensified over the summer. The National Guard deployed in California. The Supreme Court ruled on presidential power using the shadow docket. In Texas, an egregious gerrymander has set off a partisan war nationally.

Now the fall will mark the next phase in the fight for the Constitution. Will the rule of law hold? How will the 2026 election unfold? Join us for a virtual event highlighting some of the biggest news stories of the past three months. Brennan Center experts will break down what has happened and what will come next in the fight to uphold democratic values.
