On the one-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, our panelists examine polarization in the United States and the threats it poses to U.S. democracy. This meeting is part of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Project on the Future of Democracy.

This project is made possible by the generous support of the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Foundation.
