DESCRIPTION:Thursday, May 30, 2024 at noon - 1 PM PT (3 – 4 PM ET) \n\nA governing 
 majority in the United States has never required an actual majority of the 
 voting population. And the tactics of minority control are always shifting. 
 \n\nA minority of Americans are now set on thwarting the will of the people 
 through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and even election subversion. In 
 his new book, "Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the 
 People — and the Fight to Resist It," voting rights reporter Ari Berman 
 charts the rise of this antidemocracy movement in the face of the 
 country’s significant demographic and political shifts.\n\nJoin the 
 Brennan Center for Justice on Thursday, May 30, at noon PT (3 p.m. ET) for 
 a virtual discussion with Berman and former West Virginia Secretary of 
 State Natalie Tennant about how reactionary conservatives have capitalized 
 on structural inequalities in our institutions, like the Senate and the 
 Supreme Court, to entrench their power, as well as the pro-democracy 
 movement striving against these regressive efforts.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n--Ari 
 Berman, Author, Minority Rule; National Voting Rights Correspondent, Mother 
 Jones\n    \n--Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Former Secretary of State, West 
 Virginia\n\n\nABOUT: Ari Berman, voting rights journalist, "Mother Jones"
