Coalition for Democratic Resilience (C4DR)
On Europe Day, 9 May 2024, Defend Democracy launched the Coalition for Democratic Resilience (C4DR), our flagship program to bring together governments and civil society from current and future EU and NATO countries to bolster resilience to hybrid and technological threats to democracy. C4DR will kick off with the international conference Defending Democracy in an Age of Sharp Power, which is co-organised with Belgium’s EU Presidency, in partnership with the European External Action Service. New Board and Advisory Board
Defend Democracy is strengthening its own governance, so that we too can rise to the challenge. We have introduced a three-tier structure – Management, Board, and Advisory Board – which delivers moral purpose, strategic focus, and operational efficiency. Ambassador (ret.) Jana Zikmundova, Chair of the new Board, said: “Our mission could not be more urgent. Defend Democracy works with all parts of our democratic society so that together we build resilience. Every citizen, every social movement, every public institution has the power to make a difference – provided we work together.” Read the press release and meet all Board members here.
