“Where you see wrong, inequality, or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy.” – Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall

Courts are one of the most important institutions protecting American democracy, but if our entire strategy for preserving democracy is basically, “Hopefully the Supreme Court figures it out,” then we have a much bigger problem. Keerthi Eraniyan hosts an important informational program focused on maintaining a democratic country and how the courts play a part. She posits that the real question isn't, “Can the courts save democracy?” but the better question is “Are we giving the courts a democracy worth saving?”

America’s foundation is built on democracy. It is up to each of us to save it.

Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.

Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.

Corporations may not make campaign contributions or any election expenditures.

Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.
