Hot Seat in Seattle: RSVP Below
Looking for clear, actionable ideas for a stronger democracy? Join us in Seattle on October 2 for Sightline’s next Hot Seat, where senior researcher Shannon Grimes will kick off a conversation on how democracy can deliver a better future for Cascadia.
Shannon will also talk about progress, partnerships, and policies that empower voters and deliver real choice, including:
- Ranked choice voting and unified primaries, like the system that’s working for Alaskans.
- Proportional representation, the model that just delivered Portland’s most representative city council ever.
- Campaign finance reform, including Seattle’s own democracy vouchers.
This event is free, but please RSVP so we can save your spot!
