Pete Buttigieg and Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot in Conversation
About the Event:
After his high profile tenure as the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana and a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Pete Buttigieg has turned his gaze to the future. In his new book Trust: America’s Best Chance, Buttigieg identifies what he sees as a crisis of trust “in our institutions, each other, and the American project”, arguing that our success or failure depends on addressing these systemic concerns. Buttigieg is joined by Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot for a conversation about trust and distrust in this turbulent moment for American democracy.
