In-person event

Overview

Join Ilana Glazer and Generator Collective in conversation with Eric H. Holder, Jr.  to discuss the current state of the 2020 election, democratic unity and what we need to do to protect our vote this cycle.

Watch live at 4pm ET:

Generator Collective was founded to gather and talk about politics without feeling dumb –  with humility, we celebrate the parts of our system that are amazing, and deconstruct and understand the parts that aren’t.

 

Eric H. Holder, Jr. serves as Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.  Mr. Holder is an internationally recognized leader on a broad range of legal issues and a staunch advocate for civil rights. He served in the Obama Administration as the 82nd Attorney General of the United States from February 2009 to April 2015, the third longest serving Attorney General in U.S. history and the first African-American to hold that office.

Under Mr. Holder’s leadership, civil rights, including voting rights, were a top priority at the Justice Department.  Mr. Holder vigorously defended voting rights, including the enforcement of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  He criticized politically motivated voter ID laws that were designed to suppress minority and youth votes, and he led the Justice Department’s efforts to overturn these laws around the country.
