Utah Governor Spencer Cox and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro join for a timely conversation on the rising threat of political violence and what it means for the future of American democracy, moderated by Savannah Guthrie of NBC News.

In this moment of deep division, these two leaders from opposite political parties will reflect on the dangers of extremism, the responsibilities of leadership in moments of crisis, the importance of civil discourse, and the work of building civic life rooted in dignity, safety, and hope.

Following the conversation with Governors Cox and Shapiro, Cathedral Dean Randy Hollerith will moderate a panel of experts on democracy, faith, and society, including Heather Gerken of the Ford Foundation, Dr. Yuval Levin of the American Enterprise Institute, and Melody Barnes of the Karsh Institute of Democracy at the University of Virginia.
