POLITICS
Saving Democracy from Self-Destruction
As antagonism between superpowers is escalating, free and fair elections are increasingly threatened, and war plays out on the ground and across cyberspace, the fault lines in democratic institutions are widening.
Healthy democracies require trust among members, and that trust is failing. Just how much danger is our political system in? What can we do to repair what’s broken, and, more importantly, how do we imagine something better? Hear from political leaders, journalists, legal experts, and more as they discuss the backsliding of democracy, the rise of autocratic leaders, and how we might harness this political moment to build democracies that deliver to everyone.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Secret Salsa of US Business
Latino Americans represent over 18 percent of the US population and $2.13 trillion in GDP, and are also driving entrepreneurship with an astounding 44 percent in new business growth in the past ten years. They are revitalizing rural communities, starting businesses, and entering the workforce and educational system at record rates, yet are often excluded from the national narrative around economic growth. Learn about this overlooked driver of the American economy from Yai Vargas, founder of The Latinista, Jose Corona, equity and strategic partnerships director for the mayor of Oakland, CA, Woody Hunt, Senior Chairman of the Board of Hunt Companies, Inc, and Ebetuel “Beto” Pallares, Founder of Proficio Capital.
