In this segment from WVON 1690AM, I discuss strategies to create a lasting democracy. We must move beyond short-term, cycle-to-cycle thinking and embrace a strategic vision that addresses both immediate challenges and long-term threats. While each election cycle matters, focusing solely on the present risks losing sight of the bigger picture — and ultimately, losing the game altogether.

Innovating for the Public Good: R&D for Democracy (IFPG) is our way out of the cycle-to-cycle trap. IFPG is focused on developing and applying new tools, ideas and approaches to address the deeper forces threatening democracy in order to build resilient foundations for generations to come.
