Keeping the U.S. Constitution Alive
Featuring
Laurence Tribe
Acclaimed Harvard Constitutional Expert
& John Heilemann
Renowned Journalist and Bestselling Author
Wednesday, March 11th, from 4-5pm EST, on Zoom
A dangerous debate is brewing below the radar that threatens to intensify the administration's grip on executive power. Yes, the nation is veering toward autocracy. But will rewriting the Constitution at this time solve our many issues? Should the Constitution be reinvented?
At a time when our institutions are under sustained attack, constitutional scholar Larry Tribe joins political reporter John Heilemann to explain why walking away from the Constitution now would be catastrophic—and why, imperfect as it is, it has never been more essential to defend.
If you care about American democracy, you need to be in this room. Bring your questions.
