Freedom House Democracy Defenders
Join the Freedom House Democracy Defenders
Democracy is in retreat all over the world. More than one third of the world’s population lives under dictatorships, and political rights and civil liberties have declined every year since 2006. Authoritarian regimes continue their crackdown on dissent, stifling political opposition, civil society, and independent media, and committing brazen acts of aggression against their own citizens. And the world’s democracies find their own democratic norms and values under threat.
The Freedom House Democracy Defenders is a team of visionaries who commit themselves to advancing freedom and democracy. By donating $1,000 or more, you stand alongside other dedicated Freedom House contributors that are committed to shining a light on the threats to freedom and democracy and supporting frontline activists.
All Democracy Defenders will see the impact of your donations through updates about the fight for democracy and invitations to exclusive briefings on Freedom House’s flagship reports and current events.
