The latest episode of the Vital Signs of Democracy podcast is below.

 

Is Democracy Threatened in America?

It’s a question that we never thought we would be asking in our lifetimes. Yet, here we are… seemingly more polarized than any other time in our history since our civil war between the northern and southern states. Only this time… “our civil war” is between red and blue tribes competing in each news cycle to Make America Great Again based on two very different visions of the future.

 

Debilyn Molineaux, is the co-publisher of The Fulcrum and President and CEO of Bridge Alliance, a coalition of almost 600 organizations who are working to bring about a thriving, just and healthy democratic republic. You can learn more about our work at bridge alliance.us.

 

David Riordan is the director of Vital Signs of Democracy. Every two weeks VSD publishes a rating of the threat level to democracy in America based on our unique narrative analysis of the news. 

 

In this podcast we look at the stories we are telling about our democracy and determine which way they are leaning. And IF we don’t like the narrative that seems to be emerging… explore how we can all contribute to changing it.
