The Civic Forum is a weekly webinar featuring short lectures and discussions of democracy, authoritarianism and activism from leading scholars and practitioners. It is hosted by Rory Truex, Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. 

This week Rory will speak with Amanda Litman, the co-founder and president of Run for Something, which recruits and supports young, diverse progressives running for down-ballot office. Amanda will speak about barriers to effective representation in our democracy and ways they can be removed. She will also speak on the themes of authenticity and leadership outlined in her new book, When We Are in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership.
