Please join the Center for American Progress and Court Accountability for a virtual event that will focus on the connection between courts and authoritarian movements at home and around the world. History shows that when the courts fall, liberal democracy is soon to follow, and with the Supreme Court’s recent anti-democratic turn, now is the appropriate time to have this important conversation.The event will feature a presentation by CAP Senior Fellow Michael Podhorzer on the impacts of judicial rulings on American democracy.
