Two speakers

The Center for the Study of American Democracy welcomes Fred Guttenberg, author of “American Carnage: Shattering the Myths That Fuel Gun Violence” and “Find The Helpers,” and Joe Walsh, former Illinois Congressman and creator of “The Social Contract with Joe Walsh” podcast (Substack).

Despite years of bitter public feuds online, the two men formed an unlikely friendship to model civil discourse, bridge intense political divides and emphasize that democracy requires listening to opposing viewpoints.
