In this final episode of our State of Democracy series, we discuss the importance of a vibrant civil society, which is frequently discussed in foreign policy circles, but less so here at home. Jeanne Hruska speaks with Sarah Holewinski from Human Rights Watch and Jon Temin from Freedom House about what we, as civil society stakeholders, can do to strengthen democracy, and whether our involvement is actually a prerequisite for this task. They also reflect back on President Biden's Summit for Democracy and what needs to happen moving forward to reverse the decline in global freedom. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, ACS Senior Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Sarah Holewinski , Washington Director, Human Rights Watch Guest: Jon Temin, Director of the Africa Program at Freedom House Link: Human Rights Watch Link: Freedom House Link: The Summit for Democracy, U.S. Department of State Link: White House Fact Sheet: Announcing the Presidential Initiative for Democracy Renewal Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: [email protected] Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube ----------------- Production House: Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: [email protected] Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn | YouTube -----------------Broken Law: About the law, who it serves, and who it doesn’t.----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2025.
