Our program series The Democracy Dialogues on Humanity Rising in 2022 brought together an outstanding group of leading authors, experts, innovators and activists dedicated to advancing the goal of saving and protecting our democracy in the November midterms. George Cappannelli with John Steiner and Margo King are pleased to announce the expansion of the series in 2023 to include the subject of governance here in the US and around the world.

We believe this it is vitally important that we not only capitalize on the good momentum gained in the midterms but also recognize, as should be clear to all of us from the insanity that is passing as governance in the US House of Representatives and the continuing efforts of Donald Trump and those who support him in those red states across the country to undercut US democracy, that we are not yet out of the woods and that there is much that still needs to be done to revisit and strengthen our democracy here in the US and in other countries as well.

To this end, throughout 2023 we will bring you people on the front lines who were there in 2018, 2020 and 2022 and will be there again in answering the core question this series will address – What’s Next In The Battle To Save Democracy and What Can Each of Us Do To Contribute.
