Historian Nancy MacLean's book Democracy in Chains describes how the stealth campaign by the Koch network helped lay the groundwork for the election of Trump and the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6.

State Representative Rena Moran will introduce the program. Investigative journalist Don Shelby and MN350 Executive Director Sam Grant will interview MacLean.
