Join us on Tuesday, January 20 at 7pm ET for a timely virtual conversation with public policy analyst and creator of the The Existentialist Republic newsletter Christopher Armitage, and political strategist and co-founder of The Lincoln Project Reed Galen, as we unpack what’s happening with ICE enforcement and federal immigration operations, including the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis and the broader national response. With protests, policy clashes, and urgent questions about the rule of law and democratic accountability in the balance, this discussion will explore the implications of these events and what Americans can do to push back, advocate for accountability, and protect civil liberties. This one-hour virtual event will combine expert analysis with actionable takeaways for civic engagement at a pivotal moment for our democracy.
