Library of Congress Hosting FREE Series on Pillars of Democracy

Some members may be interested in the Library of Congress' free series on Pillars of Democracy. The series of discussions will focus on a different institution each month between July 2021 and May 2022. For each topic, panelists will address the questions: “What is the institution’s proper role? Where does it fall short? And what can we do about it?”

The planned topics are:

  1. The U.S. Congress — July 8, 2021 @ 4:00 pm ET
  2. The Presidency — August 19, 2021
  3. The Federal Judiciary — September 16, 2021
  4. The Regulatory State — October 21, 2021
  5. Political Parties November — November 18, 2021
  6. Electoral Institutions — January 20, 2021
  7. The Military — February 17, 2022
  8. Churches and Other Civic Institutions — March 17, 2022
  9. The Media — April 21, 2022
  10. Universities and the Academy — May 19, 2022

This series looks like a great way to enhance our own understanding of democracy.
