We discuss how multisolving is a way to address the multiple issues that are currently facing our democracy at the same time, ranging from pollution and sustainable energy to civil rights and collective governance.

Elizabeth’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1. Learn about multisolving

2. Learn together in a group

Elizabeth Sawin is the Director of the Multisolving Institute and the author of Multisolving: Creating Systems Change in a Fractured World.

We discuss Inclusive Constitutionalism, a fresh way to interpret the Constitution that makes inclusive democracy real. By contrast, originalism interprets the meaning of the Constitution as fixed in time in the 1800s and ignores the constitutional amendments during reconstruction that were designed to foster a multiracial democracy.

Madiba’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1.  Join or form a local union!

We discuss why the Constitution—the document we've been taught to revere as the very foundation of American democracy—might actually be responsible for the current crisis in government. It might be leading us away from a more perfect union and toward destruction or even secession.

Erwin’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1. Be informed

2. Get involved

3. Speak out

Erwin Chemerinsky is the Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law and one of the nation's leading constitutional scholars. His most recent book is No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States, which urges us to think about starting over.
