The election of Donald Trump, like the vote for Brexit in the UK, has had wide-ranging ramifications for the US and the world. Some see both votes as part of a rise of anti-immigrant, populist, and anti-egalitarian politics in many western democracies. In the US, the ACLU has been at the forefront of the fight to preserve democratic and constitutional traditions and norms in the wake of Trump’s election. Cole and Sands will talk about how Americans are fighting back, what lessons we might draw from the resistance, and what is at stake for all of us in the rise of populism.

Speakers: David Cole (ACLU National Legal Director); Professor Philippe Sands (Professor of Law, UCL, QC)

Chair: Minouche Shafik, LSE Director
