Quote
Dark times like the current ones invites democracy and us, its friends, to reach our vital peak performance. We are all called upon to do our best not only to uphold democracy as the best form of social life, but also to do everything we can to make it more resilient, more viable, and above all, even more democratic. Our involvement in Democracy International is an expression, and also a commitment, of this engagement. The world and future generations depend on this.
