Virtual Forum: What’s Happening in Washington...A Constitutional Crisis? A Coup?
WEDNESDAY, FEB 19, 2025, 7:00 - 8:30PM EST
ThurSDAY, Mar 13, 2025 7:00-8:30PM
There’s a lot going on in D.C. post the presidential election: a President breaking the law, ignoring separation of powers and putting our democratic form of government in jeopardy. And what are we to make of an non-elected individual being allowed to dismantle agencies set up by Congress and gain access to our private information without a warrant? Professor Michael Krasner returns to Let’s Talk Democracy, via Zoom, to help us understand what’s happening and give us ideas on how to respond and how to hold our elected officials to account. We hope you’ll join us for both virtual sessions as we find a way forward in this chaos and reimagine Let’s Talk Democracy...2.0!

ABOUT PROF MICHAEL KRASNER
An expert in American government and politics, Michael Krasner is co-director of The Taft Institute for Government, which promotes better understanding of the political process among young people, and Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Queens College. Since 1970 he has taught courses on politics and the media; presidential, gubernatorial and mayoral elections; American foreign policy; public policy; and arms control and disarmament.
We are deeply grateful to Michael Krasner for his scholastic contributions to our first workshop series. His willingness to show up to our first session in spite of a personal injury that day is a testiment to his unfailing commitment to our cause.
We greatly appreciate the extraordinary support of The Taft Institute at Queens College and the help that allowed us to realize our dream.
We are very grateful to Queens Library for their ongoing support of our organization and to the Forest Hills branch in particular for providing a welcoming venue for our events and activities.
Special thanks to the NY Public Library and the Seward Park Brnach for their help in our expansion to Manhattan.
