Details

Join us for a conversation to help us engage more fully and critically with this particular political moment, featuring David Daley, author of Antidemocratic: Inside the Far Right’s 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections and Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back.

Both books, published this summer, help us understand that the law and its interpretation is something that we not only can engage with, but should.

Antidemocratic is a riveting yet disturbing history of the fifty-year Republican plot to hijack voting rights in America, its profound implications for the 2024 presidential election, and the crucial role that Chief Justice John Roberts has played in determining how we vote. The Originalism Trap gives a rallying cry for a more just approach to the law that bolsters social justice movements by throwing out originalism—the theory that judges should interpret the Constitution exactly as conservatives say the Founders meant it.

This is sure to be a lively conversation and we hope you’re able to join us on our back patio event space.
