Democracy Happy Hour TODAY @ 5 pm PT/8 pm ET via Zoom!

Grab a drink and come hear about the latest democracy news, ongoing efforts to fix democracy, and actions you can take at our weekly Democracy Happy Hour, Wednesdays @ 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. This is an online virtual event via Zoom.

Today's topic for October 15, 2025:
The New Strategy That Will Undo Citizens United
with Tom Moore, Center for American Progress 
 

Tom Moore, senior fellow for Democracy Policy at the Center for American Progress, joins our Democracy Happy Hour to discuss the strategy he has developed to make Citizens United irrelevant. By drawing on states’ unquestioned authority to define corporate powers, his approach offers a new and surprisingly powerful path to end corporate and dark-money spending in politics, one that is already advancing in Montana as a 2026 constitutional ballot initiative.

  • Oct 29 –   SPECIAL EVENT for Media Literacy Week: Navigating Misinformation Today Panel Discussion with moderator Di Zhang
