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 highlighted the relationship between how the political process works, who allowed to participate in it, what the terms of the process are and critical issues facing the country.
” The national conversation itself has to become a conversation about the process, and that is the direction I think things are heading in, and that’s the hinge moment we’re at.“
“I think unification and alliances and partnerships that cross ideological lines, that cross partisan lines, that cross geographic, historical and cross cultural lines, is not just on the agenda. It is happening. … It is happening under the umbrella of diverse Americans coming together with the leadership of independents to change the structure, the rules of the game, and the culture of the way we do politics.”
Jackie Salit addressed the ensuing presidential race and its current implications:
” I think it’s a fascinating and conspicuous situation that these big anti-establishment, pro-establishment battles are taking place at such a fever pitch inside the parties, while at the same time the numbers of independents in the country are growing steadily.”
