In this second session of the five day program on Democracy Dialogues, we will hear from two women — the Secretary of State for Colorado and the former Assistant Secretary of State for Massachusetts.
The Democracy Dialogues have been created to bring together leading voices of our time – authors, experts and activists from a number of interrelated disciplines who speak to this threat and through individual interviews and participation in-depth, meaningful group dialogues, explore a range of possible solutions that can be executed by organizations as well as individuals in this critical 7 months leading up to Midterm Elections in November.
The Dialogues are convened and hosted by George Cappannelli, Founder of Age Nation, and John Steiner and Margo King, Networkers
