12:00 – 1:00 PM EST (virtual)
11:00 – 12:00 PM (JHU students only – dinner, watch party, and discussion, register here) SNF Agora Conference Room, Wyman Park

Presented by Hopkins at Home, The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, and the Alumni in Government, Academia, Law & Policy Community 

Featuring Former Congressman John Sarbanes and Jasmine Blanks Jones, moderated by Mary Bruce 

How do civic institutions strengthen democracy beyond electoral cycles and political milestones? Join John Sarbanes (Former Maryland Congressman and the SNF Agora Institute’s inaugural Distinguished Practitioner in Residence) and Jasmine Blanks Jones (Executive Director, Center for Social Concern, JHU) for a conversation moderated by Mary Bruce (Assistant Director, SNF Agora Institute, JHU).  Together, they’ll examine how universities and civic organizations can serve as anchors of democratic resilience. Through practical examples and forward-looking analysis, we’ll examine how sustained civic infrastructure and educational initiatives can fortify democratic systems well beyond traditional political timeframes.

This is the final event in our series “First 100 Days, From Home to Abroad,” examining the effects of U.S. presidential leadership across the U.S. and beyond, in partnership with the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins.
