The Supreme Court and the Future of Democracy

The Supreme Court’s extreme supermajority is reshaping the Constitution and the country. Most recently it concocted broad immunity for presidents who break the law. All amid a cascade of ethics scandals involving Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and more. The Court combines vast power with minimal accountability. Once again, as in earlier times, a response to the Court has become a major political force. How can we respond to the Supreme Court? What reforms will make a difference?

Radically Re-imagining American's Democracy

America's marginalized communities, primarily represented by Black, Indigenous, Brown, AAPI, Arab, and Queer communities, have never had a say in what America's democracy would be. Even though marginalized communities have fought and won some fundamental rights in America, full access to the privileges allegedly afforded to citizens in this country, remains illusive and unobtainable.
