Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, shares his reaction and insights from participating in the recent commemoration of Bloody Sunday and his walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. As an activist, Deepak appreciates the importance of learning from history and the need to continue the fight for civil rights.

We talk about:

  • What motivated people to attend the 59th gathering to remember the beatings of the civil rights marchers and pass on lessons to the next generation
  • Voter suppression
  • Overcoming voter apathy
  • Why it is essential to visit the actual places where history is made
  • The threat of Project 2025 to democracy
