About this listen

Can we rescue American democracy before it’s too late? In this episode, Dr. Paul Zeitz sits down with renowned legal scholar and democracy innovation entrepreneur and leader, Professor Lawrence Lessig of Constitutional Law at Harvard University, to explore a bold path forward. From unraveling the corrupting influence of Super PACs and dark money to defending the Constitution against authoritarian overreach, Lessig offers clarity, urgency, and an inspiring vision for revolutionary reform of the Constitution.


Together, they dig into:

  • Why Lessig believes the Constitution is in collapse—and what we must do now
  • A groundbreaking legal strategy to dismantle SpeechNOW and weaken Citizens United
  • How Citizens’ Assemblies could revolutionize democratic participation and safeguard reform
  • The dangers and potential of an Article V Convention in the hands of the people
  • Why Lessig says, “Donald Trump is the bus” hitting our already ailing democracy—and what comes next.

This is a masterclass in democracy renewal. Tune in, get informed, and join the movement for a citizen-driven future.
