About this episode

We discuss how the SpeechNow v. FEC decision in 2010 created Super PACs and how combating corruption in American politics starts with getting rid of Super PACs. Larry’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: Build the muscle of deliberating with each other. Start with the principle that we should not have a political system where people can buy influence and get results with their money. Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School and the founder of Equal Citizens, an organization whose mission is to fix democracy by establishing truly equal citizenship.
