Mission & Interests

Goals: Defend Democracy works to defend and strengthen democracy against foreign, domestic and technological threats. We work at the intersection of freedom, security and technology. We operate on the frontline: building awareness, shaping advocacy and taking action. We are independent, nonpartisan, transatlantic. In particular, we contribute to greater societal resilience against hybrid threats to democracy. Our current projects range from convening high-level democracy stakeholders, to advocating for the regulation of Big Tech and fixing the information disorder, to community building for democracy defenders, and from exposing organised information manipulation, to training practitioners how to handle disinformation and other harmful information activities.
