As citizens of a democratic country, we are uniquely positioned to partake in processes that can influence the quality of life in our cities. Being active citizens requires us to transition from indifference to intent, where our actions wield the power to make a difference in our cities.

“Driving Change: Our Collective Power to Shape Democracy” was an engaging discussion at UnidosUS (@WeAreUnidosUS) Annual Conference on fostering a strong #civilsociety, where #communities and individuals have a greater say, influence, and agency. Attendees gained insights into translating their collective community spirit into concrete #institutionalchanges and discovered practical ways to nurture #civicparticipation in their own neighborhood. They also explored how communities can effectively strengthen #institutions and safeguard #democracy. #Latinos, as active participants and defenders of democracy, have great potential to be a stabilizing force in the country’s politics. Let's forge a more #inclusive and #participatory society where every community is heard and respected. Clarissa Martinez De Castro Andrea Sáenz Rudy Espinoza K. Sabeel Rahman

Navigating the currents of democracy in Africa, our Cyclopedia Program delved into the vital theme of Democratic Backsliding. We unpacked the reasons behind this challenge, such as embezzlement and a lack of accountability, and our students discussed the possible solutions and how they could be a part of it. It’s not just a lesson; it’s a call to action for a better democratic future. We are empowering young minds with knowledge and a commitment to positive change.

For the first time in democratic South Africa's history, no single party holds an outright majority.
