John,

You are not going to want to miss FairVote Minnesota’s special zoom event, A Vaccine for Democracy with Dr. Michael Osterholm, this coming Wednesday, December 8 at 4:30 pm CT. Dr. Osterholm, one of the country’s foremost infectious disease experts, will give an update on the current state of the pandemic, including the Omicron variant, and discuss with Representative Dr. Kelly Morrison how political polarization has inhibited our response to the pandemic at all levels of government and how reforms like Ranked Choice Voting can improve that response, not only to COVID-19, but to future crises as well.

And breaking news to share. . . we just learned that former Biden Senior Advisor and best-selling author Andy Slavitt will be joining us for closing remarks! It’s going to be a great event.

Join us for this special opportunity to hear from national experts about the pandemic and how we can all take action to ensure more responsive and effective governance, not only for this crisis, but also for the next.

Hope to see you there!

Erin
