On the Ballot: COURIER Live · American in Conversation
Everything on the ballot. Everyone in the room.Eight cities. Six weeks. One question on the table — who gets to decide what happens next?
This fall, COURIER takes its newsroom on the road — to the battleground states that will decide control of the Senate, the House, and governorships across the country. Every stop pairs a Get Out The Vote activation with a live candidate forum: real, unscripted conversation between the people running and the people they'd represent. Free to attend. Livestreamed everywhere.
Not a panel. Not a rally. A conversation.
Traditional candidate events talk at you. Ours are built for the room. Each forum is moderated by a nationally recognized voice, seats roughly 300 people in person, is livestreamed nationally, and covers topics submitted by the audience and our editorial teams — students, organizers, neighbors, and first-time voters included. Before the doors open for the forum, we throw a party with a purpose: live music, free food, creators, and one ask — register, make a plan, and vote.
Get Out The Vote
A 90-minute activation built for students and younger voters, powered by COURIER's local newsrooms and organizing partners.
Candidate Forum
An evening town hall with the candidates on your ballot — House, Senate, and gubernatorial races, moderated for real answers.
Livestreamed Nationally
Every forum streams across the COURIER network — national and local — so the conversation reaches well beyond the room.
Voices who ask the questions that matter
Each forum is hosted by a nationally recognized moderator — journalists and progressive leaders who know how to keep a conversation honest and keep it moving.

Don't forget to update this text with the actual copy. Right now we just need some filler text and it is not worth it to go to lorem ipsum when I can just type it out myself. Honestly, it probably took the same amount of time.
