Join us in a discussion with Rep. Jamie Raskin, a staunch defender of the rule of law, of his top priorities for congressional action and how the average American can step up to protect our democracy. Raskin was the lead manager in the second impeachment trial of President Donald Trump for inciting insurrection against the Union and served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
