2024 Theme: Advancing Democracy
What does an ideal democracy look like to you? What is a challenge (or challenges) to achieving your vision for democracy, and what can be done to overcome it?
“If we believe in America, if we believe in equity and democracy, if we believe in law and justice, then each of us, when we see or believe that errors are being made, has an obligation to make every effort to
correct them.”
