Issue Areas
Our mission is to make institutions accountable for democratic backsliding.
We show where and how this occurs: in local decision-making, in politics, in relationships, in technological design, and even at the dinner table.
We envision a society where the public is equipped to see complexity with clarity, not confusion. Where they can navigate differences and uncertainties with reason and confidence, not fear. And where emotions are given a place to connect, not separate.
Where people are the breathing element of institutions.
We have identified five issue areas as the most critical to expose, discuss, and address.
