CLAS Open Forums

Join us for open conversations about democracy today and as we imagine it in our futures. These lightly-facilitated discussions offer spaces for you to decompress, express, listen, and learn.

Oct 15, 1:00-2:30pm: “The State of Democracy—Making Sense of the 2020 Election.” We are a month away from an election that threatens to sharpen divisions in our society and to damage faith in the fairness and equity of our institutions. This forum provides all members of our community with an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns related to the upcoming November 3 election.

Oct 29, 1:00pm-2:30pm:​ “Towards a Multiracial Democracy.” Millions of people across the country have been participating in Black Lives Matter protests and seeking resources on how to dismantle systemic racism. At the same time, efforts to suppress the vote disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities; and executive orders target Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. Join us in a discussion of how we can work together to build a multiracial democracy in a political moment filled with both possibility and peril.
