Recanati-Kaplan Talks

Finding Common Ground on Election Reform

with Donna Brazile and Michael Steele in Conversation with Jacqueline Adams

Jun 07, 2022

Join former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele as they come together for a free online talk exploring ways to find common ground on election reform.

This special conversation will be guided by former CBS News Correspondent and author, Jacqueline Adams. This is co-presented by the Newmark Civic Life Series of pro-democracy talks and lectures, and Common Ground Committee, whose mission it is to bring healing to the challenges of incivility and polarization in American politics.

Free and fair elections are at the cornerstone of our democracy, yet many Americans feel disenfranchised about their ability to cast a ballot. Rising polarization in Congress has left voting rights legislation at a standstill. Brazile and Steele explore how we address these issues and find a path forward.

Following the event, participants are invited to join the effort to combat polarization by signing up for the Finding Common Ground Unify Challenge, a guided video conversation with another American who may vote differently, encouraging all of us to help close our national divide. This challenge is hosted by Unify America, a nonprofit grassroots organization. The Unify Challenge experience will take place on June 15 at 7 pm ET: Register.
