Democracy '24 Town Hall is a live, online video series featuring notable individuals in American politics, journalism, education, faith, healthcare, culture and the law.
Our weekly, Sunday-night, online conversations (7-8:30 PM ET) seek to promote electoral engagement and positive change among alumni, students and the extended Harvard community.
With an expanding list of topics, the series will focus on issues of social, economic, racial and environmental justice, and the increasing threats to traditional institutions.
Future guests will include Susan Glasser '90, Staff writer, The New Yorker; former NY Times executive editor Jill Abramson '76; best-selling author Kurt Andersen '76; DNC Deputy Finance Director and Women for Harris co-chair Kinney Zalesne JD '91; Morgan Mohr, Harris chief spokesperson on reproductive rights; Washington Post Columnist E.J. Dionne '73; Biden and Harris pollster Geoff Garin '75; NYT Magazine writer and Yale Law lecturer Emily Bazelon, and many others yet to be announced or scheduled over 16 weeks.
As we approach one of America’s most consequential presidential elections in our history, we look forward to discussing, among other things, our judiciary in crisis, gerrymandering and inequities in our electoral system, the rise of antisemitism and Islamophobia, the danger of “alternative facts” in news coverage, and, above all, the 2024 presidential campaign.
