    Fixing The Filibuster To Save Democracy
    How do we protect our democracy if the Senate filibuster stands in our way? What steps should we take to fix the filibuster and pass the For The People Act and Voting Rights Advancement Act?

    In this episode, we rebroadcast the audio from our August 5th, 2021 event, entitled “Fixing The Filibuster To Save Democracy”, where we answered these questions. The event featured Lawrence Lessig, Cliff Albright (co-founder of Black Voters Matter), Eli Zupnick (spokesperson for Fix Our Senate), and Jana Morgan (director of the Declaration for American Democracy).
