A conversation on democracy: AFT Convention panel of scholars

AFT President Randi Weingarten leads a wide-ranging conversation with four of the nation’s leading scholars — Harvard’s Erica Chenoweth and Danielle Allen, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and NYU historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat — on the threats facing American democracy and how to meet this moment. Together they explore democratic backsliding, the power of nonviolent mass movements, civic education and the rule of law, and the work ahead to protect our freedoms and build a better future.
