The 2010 Citizens United decision has greatly impacted national legislation (or lack thereof) on a variety of issues that we advocate for in the faith community including poverty, immigration, and the environment. Due to this obstruction of democracy it is up to advocates to remove the roadblock of money in politics that exists on Capitol Hill. This workshop will focus on strategies that can help bring us together to fight one of the most pressing issues of our time: unchecked money in politics.
Speakers:
- Doug Hughes, "The Gyrocopter Guy"
- Olivia Zink from the American Friends Service Committee's "Governing Under the Influence" Project
