David Pepper (Ohio): Resist! The Relentless Attack on American Democracy

The Democratic Volunteer Center (DVC) of Silicon Valley was pleased to welcome David Pepper on January 30, 2022, to speak to us on: “Resist! The Relentless Attack on American Democracy and How We Fight Back.” David was introduced by Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California. American democracy is under attack. Long before the events of January 6 and far from Washington, a well-organized, determined minority has worked for years to undermine the democratic foundations of our political institutions, seeking to establish permanent minority rule. Largely at the state level, these forces of anti-democracy have rigged legislative elections, undermined voting rights, attacked courts, and are subverting the mechanics of the ballot-counting process and the Electoral College system. In this talk, author and law professor David Pepper tells us where the greatest threat lies and what steps we can and must take to win the fight for democracy in America.
