Advocacy and the Rule of Law: Democracy’s Next Chapter
byThomas O'Toole, Jared Carter

Check out the Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) program at the Brooks School https://publicpolicy.cornell.edu/masters/mpa/empa/

Policy Advocacy Cornell Certificate Program https://tinyurl.com/22cnm5w3

The foundations of American democracy are facing unprecedented threats, with our social, legal, and political institutions being undermined by their sworn defenders. As challenges mount to voting rights and judicial independence, and political polarization deepens, our civil society stands at a critical crossroads. And yet, through informed advocacy and civic engagement, we can chart a path forward.

Join Jared Carter and Thomas O’Toole from the Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy for a timely conversation examining America’s political institutions, constitutional framework, and civil society. They’ll reflect on the historical context of our current situation, assess today’s most pressing issues, and explore how this moment of upheaval presents an opportunity to reshape our legal, political, and cultural landscape.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to identify and understand current threats to American democratic institutions
  • Key historical lessons that can guide our response to today’s constitutional challenges
  • Strategies for effective civic advocacy
  • Why a period of political crisis may present opportunities for democratic renewal
