They're Rigging Voting Maps. We're Building the Bench.Live conversation with Run for Something's Amanda Litman and Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais didn’t just clear the way for more rigged maps. It made one thing unmistakable: the fight to protect democracy can’t be won in courtrooms alone. It has to be won by the people willing to step up and run. Tomorrow at 11:30 AM ET, we’re hosting a live conversation with two leaders working at the front lines of that fight: Amanda Litman is the co-founder and president of Run for Something, which she helped launch in 2017 to recruit and support young progressives running for local office. The organization has worked with thousands of candidates since — built on a simple premise: the path to durable democratic power runs through the state legislatures, county boards, and city councils where the rules of our elections actually get made. Lauren Groh-Wargo is the CEO of Fair Fight Action and one of the most experienced political strategists in the country, with decades of work building the infrastructure to protect voting rights and turn out voters in Georgia and beyond. Her career has been spent on the question Amanda’s candidates face every day: how do you win when the rules are stacked against you? Together, they’ll dig into:
The fight to protect our democracy doesn’t end at the Supreme Court. It begins where most Americans never look – and that’s where this conversation lives. 📆 Thursday, May 7 at 11:30 AM ET 📍 Live on Rights & Insights Set a reminder so you don’t miss it.
