Summary
Introducing Building for the Future from Everyday Ambassador.
Follow the show: Everyday Ambassador
In this season, we’re looking at what we can each do to strengthen our democracy and repair our communities. Rebuilding trust in our institutions is a critical piece of that. And today, we’re going to share some practical how-tos on what you can do to help get us there.
First, we turn to Poland to hear how civil society actors there were able to take back their country’s democracy and rebuild the rule of law. Host Annelise Riles speaks with Adam Bodnar, a human rights lawyer and Poland’s current justice minister.
Later, she talks with John Bisognano, the president of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). The NDRC was founded by Eric Holder and Barack Obama to stop gerrymandering and restore faith in the fairness of U.S. elections.
