SiX National Conference 2024
Thursday December 12, 2024 10:30am - 11:45am EST

In this session, we’ll gather in the aftermath of the election to regroup and strategize about how state leaders can build a democracy that works for all of us while blocking the rise of authoritarianism in state houses.
