DESCRIPTION: Each Presidential Administration takes office with an extensive to-do list and the Biden-Harris Administration is no different. But time and resources are limited, necessitating the task of choosing policy priorities. A task made more difficult by a politically polarized Congress that may challenge any proposed legislation and a potentially adverse U.S. Supreme Court waiting to invalidate policies with which it does not agree.\n\nThis challenging political landscape does not mean there is no hope for progress; there are paths forward.\n\nJoin the ACS Virginia, At-Large, Washington, D.C., and Puget Sound Lawyer Chapters for a virtual discussion with a distinguished group of panelists.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nKami Chavis, Vice Provost, Professor of Law , Director of Criminal Justice Program, and ACS Faculty Advisor, Wake Forest University School of Law\nKarin Anderson Ponzer, Director of Legal Services, Neighbors Link Community Law Practice\nLena Zwarensteyn, Fair Courts Campaign Senior Director, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights & The Leadership Conference Education Fund\nJohn D'Elia, Assistant General Counsel, Service Employees International Union (SEIU)\nThe Panel will seek to answer some of the following questions:\n\nWhat should be the Biden-Harris Administration's priorities before midterms?\nWhat are some of the barriers the Administration will face?\nWhat single action by the Biden-Harris Administration would have the greatest positive impact on the most lives?\nIs it better to focus on what can realistically be accomplished given the political realities or work for large, lasting changes and fail?\nWhat are the benefits vs disadvantages of primarily utilizing executive actions rather than a legislative agenda?\nIs there any hope for changing the political discourse and convincing the opposition to support some progressive policy initiatives? If so, what are the best proposals that could garner bipartisan support?\nWhat are some concrete things people interested in enacting progressive policies can do to help?\n\n \nAs the nation's leading progressive legal organization, ACS is committed to ensuring that all aspects of our events are accessible and enjoyable for all. If you require any accommodations, please contact us at LCemails@acslaw.org.\nKarin Anderson Ponzer, Director of Legal Services, Neighbors Link Community Law Practice\n\nFor details, click here: https://getinvolved.acslaw.org/component/events/event/907
