Jan 28, 2021

Nearly 160 million Americans cast ballots in the 2020 election, surpassing turnout for every previous election in nearly a century. The dangerous rhetoric that followed, casting doubt on the results and culminating in the deadly attack on the Capitol, brought into sharper focus how fragile our democracy is.

What can the 2020 election and its aftermath teach us about who votes in America, who doesn’t, and why? How do we ensure that the voting boom of 2020 doesn’t go bust but rather, inspires continued engagement in the democratic process, trust in America’s elections and the power of the vote?

Join 92Y and the Knight Foundation and a panel of distinguished guests as we explore the changing American electorate and the ongoing impact of this historic moment, with insights from the Knight Foundation’s landmark 100 Million Project.
