Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times: In Conversation

Join Skye Perryman, Kyle Tibbs Jones and Jennifer Palmieri for a conversation on democracy, community, and the power of everyday action.
About this Event

Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward; Kyle Tibbs Jones, Co-Founder and Editor of The Bitter Southerner; and Jennifer Palmieri, Executive Producer and Host of Long Play: Winning the South and former White House Communications Director, will discuss Perryman’s new book Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times and how the future of our country lies in all of our hands.
From protecting voting rights and public schools to finding courage in the face of fear, Perryman makes the case that defending democracy isn’t the job of lawyers or politicians alone—it’s a role for every one of us.
Drawing on her frontline experience challenging threats to democracy in courtrooms across the nation, Perryman combines gripping personal stories with practical “how-to” guides that empower people to take action in their own communities. Her insight shows that the path forward begins not in the halls of power but at our kitchen tables, in our neighborhoods, and through the everyday choices we make to speak up, build community, and protect our future.
Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times will be available to purchase at the event, and Skye will be available to sign copies following the discussion.
This event is free, but seating is limited. Please reserve your general admission seat in advance.
The event will be a moderated conversation followed by a Q&A and book signing.
