The Way Forward

Dismantling Democracy Episode 103 | 56m 45s | CC

In the final episode of our three part series, we explore what is needed and what may need to change to preserve American democracy. By looking at the basic pillars of a democratic society -- freedom of speech, free and fair elections and a focus on human rights -- we are challenged to rise to the occasion, participate in civic discourse and take action.
