Democracy Fund’s Post

📳 Live now: The latest edition of the newsletter from The Commons! 📳 We explore a counterintuitive idea: Despite the bruising election and tumult expected in President-elect Donald Trump’s first days in office, are Americans ready to see their political opponents as something less than mortal enemies?

Is this a moment of opportunity? ➕ ALSO ➕ 📳 “We need to show courage.” Democracy Fund president Joe Goldman spoke with Chronicle of Philanthropy CEO Stacy Palmer about the need for grant makers to pivot quickly and support advocacy, legal, and policy organizations on the front lines fighting threats to post-election democracy. He discussed how funders can best support grassroots groups, the potential for a more ideologically diverse coalition, and what to expect in the days ahead. 📳 Get details about our SPECIAL upcoming event in The Commons in Conversation series on LinkedIn with PBS special correspondent Judy Woodruff.
