After a major year of progress, where we saw Maine adopt open primaries and Nevada vote to enact nonpartisan open primaries, over a dozen states are birthing local movements grounded in reforming the primaries. Several will likely be on the ballot in 2024. 
The strength of this explosion in activity is that it is organic, decentralized, and powered by very different types of Americans with diverse politics, concerns, and solutions. The discussion features Margaret Kobos (Oklahoma United for Progress), Michael Calcagno (All Oregon Votes), Joe Kirby (South Dakota Open Primaries) and Steve Goldstein (Save Democracy AZ). Open Primaries President John Opdycke hosted the discussion.

Yesterday, in The Fulcrum, I wrote about CNN’s commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid with the start of a four-part documentary series that tells the definitive story of how two rock stars sparked one of the largest global music events in history. Live Aid wasn’t just a concert—it was a cultural earthquake. It showed the world that music, media, and mass mobilization could converge to meet a moment of moral urgency. 
As CNN’s new documentary series commemorates that legacy, I find myself asking: could we do it again? Could we summon that same creative force—not for famine relief but for the future of our democracy?
