Reviving Our Democracy: With Rev. William J. Barber

Nearly two years after Election Day 2016, Americans’ rights are under siege across the nation, from voter suppression and gerrymandering to police violence and attacks on immigrants. Yet there has also been a surge in civic action to protect these rights, and it is gathering dramatic momentum as we near the midterm elections.

Join America’s preeminent civil rights leader Reverend William J. Barber, architect of North Carolina’s Moral Monday movement and co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, and Mother Jones’ senior reporter Ari Berman for an in-depth discussion about the current state of civil rights and democracy, and how we can energize both.
