You can view the highly successful American Public Square forum on the future of America’s political parties and the rise of independent voters here in its entirety.

Organizers received an overwhelming response to this October 16th, 2017 forum, part of an annual series, requiring an overflow room to accommodate the 500+ guests who turned out.

Howard Dean expressed support for open primaries, Independent Voting President Jackie Salit asked if we as Americans could create an “all independents primary” in the 2020 election, and former independent Senate candidate Greg Orman defined partisanship as “the new prejudice” that we must overcome.
