Making History on the Supreme Court and Reimagining Democracy with Donna Brazile and Maya Rupert
Description
On Friday, March 25 at 4:00 PM ET, the virtual JFK Jr. Forum will host Donna Brazile, former chair of the Democratic National Committee and presidential campaign manager for Al Gore in 2000, and Maya Rupert, IOP Spring 2022 Resident Fellow and presidential campaign manager for Julián Castro in 2020, two of just three Black women who have managed a major presidential campaign. These groundbreaking women will discuss this week's Supreme Court hearings for the historic nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, the upcoming midterm elections, efforts to build a political system that is more reflective of America’s diversity, and what systems need to change to reshape how we choose our leaders, how those leaders connect with us, and how they govern.
