Kevin C. O’Leary will talk about long road to January 6, the innovative “Neighbors for Democracy” program, and the importance of the Civic Middle and Disengaged Voters to the pro-democracy coalition.
Co-Founder and Director of Saving Democracy, a nonpartisan, 501c3 non-profit dedicated to increasing the pro-democracy vote in Southern California congressional swing districts, Kevin is a research fellow at UC Irvine’s Center for the Study of Democracy and lecturer in Political Science at Chapman. As a journalist, Kevin was the lead West Coast reporter for TIME, a LA Times reporter, and editor of OC Metro magazine and is the author of Madison’s Sorrow (available on Simon & Schuster, Amazon, and Audible) and Saving Democracy: A Plan for Real Representation in America. A graduate of UCLA, Kevin earned his doctorate at Yale.
Madison’s Sorrow: Today’s War on the Founders and America’s Liberal Ideal explains how the Party of Reagan became the Party of Trump. It tells the story of American history as the ongoing struggle between our liberal democratic ideal — articulated by the founders and followed by both liberals and traditional conservatives — and illiberal, reactionary resistance. Both inspiring and disturbing, the book explores the transformation of American politics and shows what we have to fear post-January 6. Booklist called Madison’s Sorrow “Essential reading” in a starred review and the book won praise from Erwin Chemerinsky, Alan Wolfe, Norm Ornstein, and Robert Kuttner.
