The Supreme Court's recent Citizens United v. FEC decision removes decades-old barriers that have prevented corporations from publicly supporting or opposing political candidates. This is a topic of great debate in the press and its far-reaching impact on our democracy is just beginning to be explored. A coordinated multi-faceted strategy is being developed to challenge this decision and build a unified voice of public opposition. A funders-only discussion will follow a panel presentation with advocates and legal experts. Lunch will be served.

Michael Waldman, Executive Director, Brennan Center for Justice
