In this period in which our institutions fundamental to democracy have experienced continuous unprecedented attack, what paths can members of political parties take to preserve and strengthen our democratic systems? At a moment in which the Republican party seems divided by differing views on the threats to democracy, what does the future hold for the shape of the party? Please join us for a special conversation to discuss the role of public service in these extraordinary times.

This event is part of the Ford School’s Conversations Across Differences series, supporting our commitment to facilitating public discourse that is nonpartisan, evidence-based, and inclusive. Speakers bridge partisan, ideological, and identity gaps, and provide constructive debate on policy issues that affect our communities, nations, and the world.

Hosted by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Co-sponsored by University of Michigan’s Democracy & Debate 2021-’22. Presented with support from the Tuft Family Foundation.
