The Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais didn’t just clear the way for more rigged maps. It made one thing unmistakable: the fight to protect democracy can’t be won in courtrooms alone. It has to be won by the people willing to step up and run.
Tomorrow at 11:30 AM ET, we’re hosting a live conversation with two leaders working at the front lines of that fight:
Amanda Litman is the co-founder and president of Run for Something, which she helped launch in 2017 to recruit and support young progressives running for local office. The organization has worked with thousands of candidates since — built on a simple premise: the path to durable democratic power runs through the state legislatures, county boards, and city councils where the rules of our elections actually get made.
Lauren Groh-Wargo is the CEO of Fair Fight Action and one of the most experienced political strategists in the country, with decades of work building the infrastructure to protect voting rights and turn out voters in Georgia and beyond. Her career has been spent on the question Amanda’s candidates face every day: how do you win when the rules are stacked against you?
Together, they’ll dig into:
What the Callais decision means for the next round of mid-decade redistricting – and why the response has to extend far beyond Congress
Why the most consequential races on the 2026 ballot aren’t always the ones in the headlines.
What the early signals from 2025 and 2026 special elections – including flips in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and more – are telling us about the road to November.
What it actually takes to make the leap from frustrated voter to first-time candidate, and how Run for Something is helping thousands of Americans do it right now.
The fight to protect our democracy doesn’t end at the Supreme Court. It begins where most Americans never look – and that’s where this conversation lives.
