Over the period of a year, The Civic Tech Field Guide team met with democracy activists working in countries whose democracies are under active threat. A surprising finding was the overlap in these groups' needs. What resources can begin to address these needs, and what more can we, as a field, do to help?

Longer description:

In a year-long series of pro bono clinics, the Civic Tech Field Guide team met with democracy activists working in countries whose democracies are under active threat.

Learn about the identified commonalities and resources that begin to address these needs, and what more we, as a field, might be able to do to help.
