Engaging in Critical Discourse on Democracy and Pluralism
By Rummi Khan
Chief Operating Officer, MPAC
The difficult conversations are often easy to avoid, but are needed today more than ever. Last Wednesday in Washington, we launched our nationwide non-partisan Democracy Forum series by convening key stakeholders to explore some of the most important questions of our day:
- Can American Democracy prevail in its current form?
- What will it take to uphold this model?
- … and— How do we measure pluralism if the promise of America remains unfulfilled for ALL its citizens?
We are especially grateful to all who attended from all branches of government and civil society for contributing to the discussions, stepping out of their comfort zones, and engaging with opinions they may not align with.
Here’s a quick recap of our first forum, and we hope that you, your friends, neighbors, and families will join us in preserving American Pluralism and fulfilling the promise of America for ALL.
