As we head into the mega election year of 2024, where over 2 Billion people will vote, we at Keseb are supporting some of the leading democracy entrepreneurs and their organizations from Brazil, South Africa, and the United States. Last week, we hosted an intensive multi-day retreat for the inaugural cohort of 12 Keseb Democracy Fellows. Selected from a pool of over 300, the Fellows lead innovative and impactful pro-democracy organizations that address the threats of authoritarianism as well as promote effective and inclusive political and civic participation in their respective contexts. Specifically, they are employing strategies in one or more of Keseb’s current priority pillars: (1) Promoting free, fair, and trusted elections; (2) Building diverse leadership pipeline for representative government; (3) Combatting mis-and-disinformation; and (4) Cultivating informed, empowered, and engaged citizens and voters.  Jeanine Abrams McLean, PhD Fair Count Áurea Carolina NOSSAS Tessa Dooms Rivonia Circle Farbod Faraji Protect Democracy Tshepo Fokane Alliance for Rural Democracy Gabriel Marmentini Politize!
