The Democracy Test from American Public Media

The presidency of Donald Trump has sparked a national conversation in America. Is our democracy at risk? “The Democracy Test” will give a broad and diverse national platform to this work. Over the course of six episodes, Truth, Politics, & Power will examine the fault lines of American democracy. Guests will bring the kind of expertise needed to understand what is truly unique in this moment of our nation’s history, what brought us here, and what it would take to emerge with an even stronger understanding of what democracy means in America and how we can move toward an even stronger expression of its ideals. The Democracy Test airs Fridays at 11 a.m. in the run-up to Election Day.
