# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Powell's Presents: Barbara McQuade in Conversation With Richard Meeker
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Bestselling author and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade offers a piercing exposé on the escalating threat of far-right politics — and a clear roadmap for saving our democracy.

In The Fix (Seven Stories), McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federal prosecutor to reveal how systems of organized crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power — using corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools to dominate institutions and eliminate accountability. With clarity, precision, and moral force, she exposes the tactics of today’s far-right MAGA system: information warfare, aggressive retribution, conformism enforced by fear, and pervasive dismantling of legal checks and balances necessary to defend the public interest and uphold justice.

Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history and democratic backsliding abroad, McQuade makes the case that the threats we face are not future possibilities — they’re already here. Yet The Fix is not just a warning; it is a call to action. In the book’s final chapters, McQuade outlines common-sense reforms and strategies that can reclaim the rule of law and recenter democracy with the power of the people.

Accessible, eye-opening, and grounded in constitutional faith, The Fix is essential reading for everyone concerned about the future of America — and ready to work together to take a stand for it.

McQuade will be joined in conversation by Richard Meeker, co-owner of Willamette Week and founder of Willamette Week’s Give!Guide.
