Minority Rule and the Fight for Democracy: Live with Ari BermanHow history’s anti-democracy backlash is shaping this moment.
Join us tomorrow at 1:30 PM for a live conversation with Ari Berman, author of Minority Rule and national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones, on how a small but powerful minority has shaped American democracy – and what that means for this moment. We’ll dig into the long history of efforts to restrict who can vote, from the founding era’s limits on the franchise to modern battles over voter suppression, gerrymandering, and the courts. We’ll connect the dots between past and present attacks on our elections and rights, showing how today’s fights over “election integrity,” voting laws, and representation are not new – but part of a decades-long strategy to lock in minority rule. From Wisconsin to Georgia and across the South, we’ll explore how dark money, extremist politicians, and captured institutions are reshaping the rules of our democracy – and who those rules are designed to exclude. If you want a clear, accessible way to understand what’s happening now – and to hear how books like Minority Rule are essential guides to this moment – this conversation is for you. We’ll move between the big picture and the specifics, highlighting both the architecture of minority rule and the regular people whose voices are being silenced. Join us live, bring your questions, and come away with a deeper understanding of what we’re up against and how we can respond.
