Brattleboro Democracy Forum
Is There Democracy In America?
7/6/21, 6:30pm, on Zoom
Woody Bernhard is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Nick Biddle, Tim Kipp and friends will explore the question, Is there Democracy in America?
Please join the discussion.
The program will be recorded and will be aired on BCTV and FM WVEW 107.1
If we assume a basic definition of democracy as "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," how does today's status quo stack up? Tim and Nick will review several of the major barriers obstructing people from democratic participation. Examples are voter suppression, campaign finance, and the Republican Party's racist politics of grievance. They will look to connect the dots in order to shed light on the material results, (i.e. dysfunctional government exacerbating extreme wealth inequality). Today's multiple challenges compel an honest appraisal of the political landscape.
Tim Kipp, taught US history, political science and law for 39 years. He has been a political activist since the 1960s
Nick Biddle, PhD, retired professor of Latin American history, and Brattleboro resident since 2013
