From 1999 to 2020 JS hosted a national conference call for new and veteran political activists. You can listen to past conference calls below.
Salit speaks about IndependentVoting.org’s new campaign on the Presidential Commission on the Election Administration to recognize that Americans want non-partisan government on every level. She speaks about it in the backdrop of the supreme court decision striking down Section 4 of the Voter Rights Act that protected candidates in minority districts.
How do we grow our movement? Why is our grassroots movement interested in nonpartisan elections and open primaries? How the system impacts the lives of real people, how we live and govern. Why political reform issues are not technical issues. Pursuing new forms of political association and a political system to address America’s challenges.
In the runup to IndependentVoting.org’s 7th conference, Salit talks about changing politics in America and how independents are responding. Debate over strategy isn’t taking place in the academy, but in the communities, in the reality of mainstream American politics. How do we make the political system developmental and relevant for mainstream America?
