As the American political landscape continues to evolve, third parties are playing an increasingly vital role in shaping policy, challenging the status quo, and offering new choices to voters disillusioned with the traditional two-party system. Rise of the Third Parties brings together representatives from current and emerging third parties for an engaging panel discussion on the future of American democracy, electoral reform, and the growing appetite for political alternatives.
Confirmed panelists:
- Patrick Newton, State Chair of Forward Party
- Italo Medilus, State Chair of Justice For All Party
- Brad Hessel, Chair of Wake County Libertarian Party
- James Bledsoe, State Chair of Veterans Party
Together, they will discuss their unique political philosophies, the challenges of building grassroots movements, and their visions for a more representative and responsive political system.
Join us for a lively, thought-provoking conversation that invites students and members of the public to explore the possibilities of a more pluralistic political future.
