The Democracy Dialogues have been created to bring together leading voices of our time to explore a range of possible solutions that can be executed by organizations as well as individuals in this critical 7 months leading up to Midterm Elections.
Even with incredible work done and the disclosures by the House Select Committee on the January 6th Coup attempt, and the remarkable work being done by a courageous army of activist and advocacy organzations and political office holders of good conscience and commitment to saving our Democracy the greatest threat to our democracy and to our way of life in our nation’s 246 year history continues. And of particular consequence, if We the People do not address this threat in a timely and effective way, and support all of these efforts our Democracy, as well as the threat to the well-being of humanity, of the other species who reside on this planet and of our precious habitat will continue
The Democracy Dialogues have been created to bring together leading voices of our time – authors, experts and activists from a number of interrelated disciplines who speak to this threat and through individual interviews and participation in-depth, meaningful group dialogues, explore a range of possible solutions that can be executed by organizations as well as individuals in this critical 7 months leading up to Midterm Elections.
