For years our democracy has been deteriorating. From our political to electoral to judicial systems, there have been cracks and decay that threaten the security of racial, religious and ethnic minority communities. That's why JCRC is launching a non-partisan democracy initiative and will be hosting Waging Democracy, a day-long forum that includes seminars, sessions and opportunities for action.

Keynote Speaker: Aziz Huq, assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School and author of How to Save a Constitutional Democracy (2018)

Co-Chairs: Leslie Katz, Kristin Olsen and Dan Schnur

$20 for students (with ID)
$30 for adults 35 and under
$50 adults, with early-bird pricing of $40 until September 30
