As authoritarianism has overtaken sixty countries around the world, what strategies and approaches can make a real difference to restore and strengthen democracy? In Democracy Action Lab, we learn from activists, practitioners, and experts to make informed funding choices, and identify opportunities for mobilization and collaboration as a global community facing shared threats. This is a safe, confidential space where leaders in the field offer candid reflections on their work, and members workshop their own challenges with supportive peers. Through case studies and deep dives, members gain valuable insight and resolve to keep up the fight.
This year, we’ve seen terrible assaults on democratic values, institutions, and social civility in the United States. Where does that leave us? What now? Ktisis Capital Founder and Principal Jason Franklin and Senior Director Estevan Muñoz-Howard will join us to help take stock of the current moment, reassess our funding strategies, and explore possible paths forward.
We will have 15-minute post-session “office hours” at 11:15am PDT | 2:15pm EDT | 7:15pm BST open to anyone interested in staying on to continue the session conversation or ask specific democracy-related questions of our facilitators and/or Forward Global peers.
