On Tuesday, October 27, Issue One and Fix the System hosted a virtual launch event for the National Council on Election Integrity — a bipartisan group of more than 40 government, political, and civic leaders — where several members of the council discussed why it’s important to unite across party lines to vigorously defend the legitimacy of the 2020 election, count every vote, and support a free, fair, and constitutional democratic process — both before and after Election Day.
Speakers included:
- Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff (R)
- Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel (R-NE)
- Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta (D-CA)
- Issue One Co-Founder and CEO Nick Penniman
- Fix the System Co-Founder and Managing Director Nilmini Rubin
- New America CEO Anne-Marie Slaughter
