The Workers Circle Presents Minority Rule: A Conversation with Ari Berman

The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. However, this crisis did not begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of massive demographic and political shifts. Journalist Ari Berman charts all of these efforts and the grassroots movement that’s fighting back in his new book Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People — And the Fight to Resist It.

Join the Workers Circle for a conversation with Ari on the themes of his book and how we can fight back against these regressive forces. The conversation will be moderated by Noelle Damico, Director of Social Justice at the Workers Circle. There will be ample time for audience questions and answers.

Three copies of Ari’s book will be given away via a raffle during the program. All attendees will be automatically entered into a raffle to receive a free copy of Ari’s book. You must be present to claim your book.
