In celebration of the 50th anniversary year of Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed, the Center for Study of Responsive Law (CSRL.org) announces four days of civic seminars in Washington, D.C., September 26-29, 2016. Nader's classic book and subsequent career are credited with sparking the creation of numerous advocacy organizations and leading to major consumer, environmental, and worker-safety protections.
This event builds on the historic "Breaking Through Power" gathering held this past May at Constitution Hall and it will "highlight strategies that have unleashed fresh civic energies today."

Speakers include:
• Ralph Nader, consumer advocate, author, and founder, CSRL
• Kim O’Neil, Past President, National Council for the Social Studies
• John Bogle, Founder and retired CEO, The Vanguard Group
• Pat Quinn, Former Governor of Illinois
• Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C. Delegate to U.S. House of Representatives
