121st Anniversary Event

The Committee of Seventy is proud to host its 121st Anniversary Event. This year’s program will feature a conversation with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, and Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Al Schmidt, on the theme: "The State We’re In: An Honest Reckoning with American Politics." The evening will provide a thoughtful and substantive dialogue on the challenges facing American democracy today—one that transcends partisan divides and invites honest reflection on the path forward.
