*This conversation will be geared towards adults; kids and young adults are also welcome to attend.

“American values over autocracy. Benevolence over bigotry.” So began the rousing finale of the first official speech Congressman Hakeem Jeffries made to Congress on January 7, 2023, upon his historic elevation as House Democratic Leader when he was unanimously elected by his colleagues. The ABCs of Democracy brings Rep. Jeffries' speech to life, including vibrant and colorful illustrations for each letter by Shaniya Carrington. In clever and memorable turns of phrase, he paints an alphabetic road map for a brighter American future with equal opportunities for all and warns of the perils of taking a different path.
