El regreso de la COP a una democracia no podría llegar en un momento más decisivo. Los progresistas deben dejar claro que el liderazgo climático es una fortaleza nacional que da resultados, explican Frances Colón y @JohanHassel para @elpais_america: elpais.com/clima-y-medio-…

This week, @EU_Commission Commissioner @PaoloGentiloni joined @PatrickGaspard at CAP to discuss the importance of bolstering economies in the U.S., Europe, and around the world by strengthening the transatlantic partnership.

Progressive leadership is driven by a shared belief that we can’t go back — on rights, on equality, on an economy that works for everyone. We can’t go back on any of it. We have to keep moving forward. #GlobalProgressAction24

“As clear a choice as there’s ever been” With @CAPAction at #DNC2024, vital insights re: the need to root campaigns & governing in unifying shared values — even/especially in the face of stark divisions & policy threats posed by the right @patrickgaspard @EleniForCA @JoeNeguse

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

This election is about more than a person or a party. It’s about democracy in America. Today, President Biden, unequivocally one of the finest presidents in our nation’s history, made a courageous decision to put his country first. My statement: americanprogress.org/press/statemen…

Vice President Kamala Harris is an exceptional and accomplished leader who is positioned to unite her Party and then a nation. It will be a great honor to knock on doors for her, make calls on her behalf, and to cast a ballot for the first woman President of the United States.

The rise of authoritarianism demands urgent investment in next gen political leaders Thrilled to partner with former PM Jacinda Ardern on a fellowship that will bring together the brightest young minds driven to work for a better world. americanprogressaction.org/press/release-…

Pres Biden will win in November, but no matter the outcome we have to democracy-proof our institutions. We won’t be caught unprepared again, especially since Trump and his MAGA cult in Congress have laid out their authoritarian playbook in “Project 2025” nytimes.com/2024/06/16/us/…

Great analysis from @JohanHassel and @RobertBenson92 on EU elections. The situation in Europe is instructive for US. It’s not enough to muddle through. Progressives must be bold in confronting structural challenges in economy, justice, security, climate: americanprogress.org/article/eu-ele…

While pro-European and democratic forces hold the majority in the EU parliament elections, far-right gains portend trouble ahead. However, percolations of resistance to a far-right agenda have shown through in surprising places. @amprog w @RobertBenson92 americanprogress.org/article/eu-ele…

Democracy was on the ballot in the European Parliament elections. While centrist groups remain the largest block, projected gains by far-right parties could leave Europe in a more dangerous place. Pro-European forces must continue to work together. americanprogress.org/press/statemen…

Two round table at Center for American Progress: Feminist Foreign Policy and Security policy (Ukraine Middle East etc) 🙏🏻@JohanHassel for organising!

The human rights crisis in Gaza is so alarming that the State Dept must be made accountable in sharing with the American people all evidence that has led to this unbelievable assessment that Israel is complying with humanitarian protocols as U.S. weapons support this assault

Absolutely fascinating, powerful panel on global threats to democracy - from within and without democratic nations. With @patrickgaspard @magdandersson @DMiliband. At @CAPAction #GlobalProgressAction23 in Montreal. Watch along: canada2020.ca/events/2023-gl…
