During Kettering Conversations with Democracy Innovators, we explore ways to strengthen democracy, focus on positive narratives amid democratic crisis, and consider opportunities to build upon the strengths of our diverse communities and nation to make them more inclusive and equitable.

In our third Kettering Conversations with Democracy Innovators, we will consider the erosion of democracy at the state level, using a spotlight on recent events in Ohio. In a conversation with our expert panel, we will ask what they see as the most urgent threats to democracy at the state level, and what can be done to address them. The panel will include:

Maureen O’Connor, retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio

David Pepper, lawyer, writer, political activist, former elected official, adjunct professor, and former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party

Nancy Rogers (moderator), Professor Emeritus at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law
