To mark the 40th anniversary of Watergate, Common Cause convened Watergate figures, policy experts, journalists and others on March 13-14 to explore lessons learned from that dramatic period in history, and consider their resonance today as we seek to strengthen our democracy. The result was a full house at the National Press Club in Washington DC as attendees were treated to an insider’s view of Watergate, plus insights into how Watergate reforms are faring, and navigating the challenges we face today. A special reception honored four “Uncommon Heroes” for holding power accountable.
