@jon_m_rob DFN is a cross-ideological network of funders. So it doesn't fund anything itself. You can read more about it here if curious: democracyfundersnetwork.org

@forachelP What kind of organization does DFN fund that DA never would?

"In typical policy fights, advocates seek to build a coalition just big enough to achieve a policy outcome. But when it comes to protecting liberal democracy, “just big enough” won’t cut it." 🧵philanthropy.com/commons/a-part…

Building this broad coalition will mean building public support for liberal democracy by showing that it can address concrete things people care about, like affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, and quality education.

creating a government that is responsive & effective and developing an economic and social agenda that can help reduce the demand for illiberal policies, such as revitalization of rural America, rebuilding local media, and improving the status of working-class men.

I'm breaking my Twitter fast to ask for prayer. My brilliant, courageous, and beautiful wife has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She has a long, hard road ahead, but we trust God. May he bless and comfort her as she endures this terrible trial.

African leaders are stepping up on the global energy transition→ At the recent Kigali @SEforALLorg Forum, energy ministers agreed a 7-point vision to achieve a just & equitable energy transition. Lots to see here (esp #3). 🧵 /1 mininfra.gov.rw/updates/news-d…

On the importance of advocates and funders asking the right questions about what they’re actually trying to solve for:

I’m not a conference person but the @SEforALLorg Forum in Kigali was terrific. So many amazing people, none more so than the tireless @DamilolaSDG7. And so lovely to have most of the Hub team together in person ❤️

@drvolts Aren't they calling it "24/7 carbon-free"? sustainability.google/progress/energ…

#EnergyTwitter: I am, at long last, going to dive into the hype around "24-7 renewable energy," as pioneered by Google & now catching on more broadly. Please share your thoughts & point me toward any resources you think would be helpful! 🙏

@MaxCRoser Amanda Ripley ‘s “High Conflict”. It’s important, engaging and beautifully narrated by the author.

Do you have an audiobook that you’d recommend? (Non-fiction, fiction, whatever you think was great)

Democracy is under severe threat. As much as the cause needs #philanthropic support, it can be a daunting one to take on. @InsidePhilanthr guest contributors, @mikeberkowitz & @forachelP offer three lessons they’ve learned. buff.ly/364hCmM
