Faced with a deepening budget crisis and a paralyzed political system, a growing number of Californians have concluded that their government needs a complete overhaul. Join us to meet the leaders of the reform movement, to explore different paths to fundamental change, and to discuss some ideas for creating California v 2.0, an upgraded political system that meets the challenges of the 21st century. This event will address the big questions for the Golden State: Do we need to hold a constitutional convention? Should we adopt an entirely new electoral system? How can an increasingly diverse and often disenchanted public be reengaged in Californias political process?
