Between the Trump administration and global rise of populism, the domination of money in politics and steady replacement of thoughtful exchange by partisan maneuvering … it’s easy to feel gloomy about the state of Democracy. And yet, lost in the headlines and trending topics is a growing movement of activists, technology solutions and imaginative thinking that are re-conceiving the very nature of Democracy. On May 29th at Manny’s, join us for a discussion of how digital democracy is rewriting the future of Democracy and how human-first structural reform may be a lot closer than you ever imagined. Panelists include: David Ernst: CEO of Liquid.US Agatha Bacelar: Candidate for US Congress in CA-12 David Evan Harris: Mixed Media Sociologist & Chancellor's Public Scholar, UC Berkeley Joshua Krafchin: Co-founder of Swing Left & Democracy Hacker Hosted by Manny's, a civic gathering space in San Francisco. Thanks to OHD for letting us use his track, "Priorities".
