Join Jane Fonda, Desmond Meade, Eric Liu, and Nikki Fortunato Bas, plus a special musical performance by The Chicks, for our final Fire Drill virtual rally before the election.
Eric Liu is the co-founder and CEO of Citizen University, which works to build a culture of powerful and responsible citizenship in the United States. He also directs the Aspen Institute’s Citizenship & American Identity Program.
Nikki Fortunato Bas is a Councilmember in Oakland, California. Since taking office in 2019, Nikki led the passage of the strongest COVID-19 eviction moratorium in the State of California. She authored fair chance housing protections for people with conviction records, created a fund for community land trusts to stop displacement and create permanently affordable, community-owned housing, and is now leading a task force to reimagine public safety in Oakland with the goal of reducing the police budget by $150M and instead fund programs that address the root causes of violence.
Desmond Meade is a formerly homeless returning citizen who overcame many obstacles to eventually become the President of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC), Chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy, a graduate of Florida International University College of Law, a Ford Global Fellow, and a published author of “Let My People Vote.”
