What a fabulous chat with Renew Democracy Initiative's executive director, Uriel Epshtein! Since 2017, RDI has been active in promoting liberal democracy and its ideals through a variety of events and information campaigns. So go take a look and remember that this is another part of our on-going series: the Tools of Democracy.
In this episode Uriel and I talk about the tenets of democracy, the threats that we're dealing with and some suggestions on how to face the fact that our societies are now riven by polarisation, tribalism and the need for more cooperation at home and abroad. So lots to chew on and consider.
On Feb 15, RDI is hosting the first ever Renew Democracy Virtual Rally, which will see the participation of an array of exciting democracy defenders including LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman, Garry Kasparov, Preet Bharara, Miles Taylor (NYT Anonymous), Evan Mawarire, and Fmr. Rep. Barbara Comstock.
As always my warm thanks to CTP's senior researcher, Davide Cortese.
And thanks to Bensound for providing the music.
My heartfelt thanks for listening!
