On March 24, Governance Studies at Brookings hosted U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and experts on democracy and Senate procedure as part of a two-panel webinar to discuss S. 1, how it relates to the wave of state legislation around the country, and its likely encounter with the filibuster. Senators Klobuchar and Merkley discussed the bill's provisions and how it would affect voting-related state legislation. The second panel addressed those issues in the context of Senate procedure and the various proposals for reconsidering the filibuster.

Viewers submitted questions for speakers by emailing events@brookings.edu or via Twitter at @BrookingsGov by using #ForThePeopleAct.
