Freedom House invites you to join authors Sushma Raman and John Shattuck as they discuss their newest book, "Holding Together: The Hijacking of Rights in America and How to Reclaim Them for Everyone", co-written with Mathias Risse. 

"Holding Together" is about the promise of rights as a source of American identity, the struggle to realize rights denied to countless Americans, the hijacking of rights by politicians who seek power by dividing and polarizing, and the way forward in which rights can bring Americans together instead of tearing them apart. 
 

Speakers: 

  • Sushma Raman, Author and Executive Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University
  • John Shattuck, Author, Member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Senior Fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University
