#CatoConnects: Religion and Attitudes about Immigration, Race, and Identities
Cato Institute
1000 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Featuring Emily Ekins, Research Fellow and Director of Polling, Cato Institute, and author, Religious Trump Voters: How Faith Moderates Attitudes about Immigration, Race, and Identity(@emilyekins); Kat Murti, Senior Digital Outreach Manager, Cato Institute (@KatMurti).
Increasing political polarization and rising conflict over identity, race relations, immigration, and LGBT rights have left the American political landscape with two increasingly divided extremes and a seemingly elusive moderate middle. Many Americans have come to view religious institutions as a major contributor to this ever-increasing divide — a catalyst for increased intergroup societal conflict rather than a possible cure.
However, new research by Cato Institute Director of Polling Emily Ekins finds that religious participation may moderate conservatives’ attitudes on other important culture war issues, particularly matters of race, immigration, and identity.
In Religious Trump Voters: How Faith Moderates Attitudes about Immigration, Race, and Identity, Ekins finds that Trump voters who attend church regularly are more likely than nonreligious Trump voters to have warmer feelings toward racial and religious minorities, to be more supportive of immigration and trade, and to be more concerned about poverty. These data are important because they demonstrate that private institutions in civil society can have a positive effect on social conflict and can reduce political polarization.
On Wednesday, February 20, join a LIVE discussion on the moderating influences of religious faith on attitudes about immigration, race, and identity, and tweet your questions with #CatoConnects.

CPAC2019
In years past CPAC has been 1/3 young Ron Paul student activist registrants, or Gary Johnson has had a booth and spoken. Certain libertarian-oriented groups - the Ayn Rand Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute - routinely have booths, often with tasty swag.
CPAC used to be held at a convenient Woodley Park hotel near a DC metro stop, but when "progressives" began to hire unemployed people via Craigslist to stand around the conference hotel holding protest signs, the organizing group, the American Conservative Union, relocated it to Prince George's County, Maryland, at the Gaylord National Resort on the Potomac. (One DC style section journalist then wrote that she was at "CPAC in Baltimore" when her ride share dropped her off, presumably mistaking the Potomac for the Baltimore harbor. She knew she was somewhere in flyover country.)
This year's CPAC displays little libertarian context in the program - though a very few conservatarians and libertarian-leaning conservatives are on the program (though many others, like Mary Katherine Ham or Guy Benson are not listed).
Georgetown University law professor and libertarian Randy Barnett is listed as a speaker. We will add dates and times of libertarian speakers or events when we learn them.
