Led by Dr Judith Goldstein, Founder and Executive Director of Humanity in Action, the Landecker Democracy Fellows gathered to discuss these events and the implications that this assault on democracy – fuelled by conspiracy theories and former US President Donald Trump himself – had on the future of democracy in the US and around the world.
From the importance of tackling false information and conspiracy theories to how best to foster social cohesion and decrease polarization, the Fellows explored and shared what they believe is needed to call civil society into action, in order to protect and strengthen democratic societies in the future.
