Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee

On Sunday, April 28 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm, in the downstairs meeting room of the Mattapoisett Free Public Library, the Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee is honored to present its last in a series of Spring Speakers’ Forums, featuring Danielle Allen, the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. Ms. Allen is an internationally recognized expert on democracy. She is also Founder and President of Partners in Democracy. She is a seasoned nonprofit leader, democracy advocate, tech ethicist, distinguished author and mom. During the height of COVID in 2020, Danielle’s leadership in rallying coalitions and building solutions resulted in the country’s first-ever Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience. Her policies were adopted in federal legislation and a Biden executive order. Danielle also made history as the first Black woman ever to run for statewide office in Massachusetts. In her role as board chair for Partners in Democracy, she continues to advocate for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy and drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all. Her many books include the widely acclaimed Our Declaration: a reading of the Declaration of Independence in defense of equality; Cuz: The Life and Times of Michael A.; and Justice by Means of Democracy.
