On January 6, 2021, rioters supporting Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election stormed the US Capitol. The attack forced the evacuations and lockdowns of the Capitol building and disrupted the counting of the electoral votes to formalize Joe Biden's election victory. The rioters threatened the safety of all who worked in the Capitol building, attacked the Capitol Police, damaged property, and looted. In this virtual teach-in, a panel of political science researchers and educators will offer context to these events. | Open to the public.
