Why we fight for democracy
The need for creative solutions is clear and urgent, yet most of the leading democracies in the world are deeply split over how we move forward. As we can see in the latest Democracy Perception Index 2024 results, democracy has been in decline globally for the past 18 years. A growing number of people are disenchanted with the state of democracy. However, global faith in democracy has remained consistently high, with 85% saying it is important to have democracy in their country.
We seek to strengthen the world’s democracies. Our overarching purpose is to revitalize democracies and bring them together in an alliance for peace, prosperity, and the advancement of democracy worldwide.
