Wow, it's incredible what tools and kits can be created with @afrobarometer data!
Congratulations again, John, on a fantastic project! I'm eagerly looking forward to phase II and seeing what more can be achieved!

In his latest initiative, 'The Democracy Project,’ Democracy and Development fellow at @CDDGha, Dr. John Osae-Kwapong (@Ata_John1), uses Afrobarometer data to create democracy risk profiles for African countries in the sub-region. These profiles help gauge which democracies are at risk of retrogression and which aspects of their democracy are vulnerable.
Visit https://t.co/bG9bJxqZJh for more information on the project.

I moderated an event for @Ata_John1. Drawing from his book, '5 Presidents, 8 Elections, 30 Years Later,' John introduces the Democracy Project where he utilizes @Afrobarometer data to create democracy risk profiles for African countries in the sub-region.

The work @naokadforeman has done on #TheDemocracyProject is outstanding. She has also been a journalistic voice for an under-represented market. She would be an asset in any newsroom!
I’m passionate about news and information, so I will be focused on remaining a journalist and continuing to be a force in the news industry.
As my former boss @RalstonReports would say — onward! ✨🕵🏾♀️🗞️🏁
Thanks to @gregrienzi for interviewing me on lessons we should (and shouldn’t) draw from Turkey’s authoritarian turn for the US. Honored to contribute to @HubJHU’s timely #TheDemocracyProject
TBF, @davidgraeber's
'Debt - the First 5000 Years'
and
'Bullshit Jobs, a Theory'
are MUCH more catchier (& well-known) titles.
But #TheDemocracyProject about the #Occupy movement & the nature of democracy is FANTASTIC.
Srsly, read it.

Reading the fantastic #TheDemocracyProject in memory of @davidgraeber
90% of what counts as left political 'action' consists of purely symbolic performance with essentially no resonance in the real world.
Less passing motions.
More stopping bailiffs.

He adds that in situations of conflict, “one must always give each other the benefit of the doubt for honesty and good intentions.“ @davidgraeber also mentions that “this can be extremely difficult to do.” (Oh, I bet!!! 😖) #thedemocracyproject
Today we launched The Democracy Project with Old Stone Museum and the New York State Council of the Arts. Thank you for the opportunity #socialstudies #interdisciplinary #ms35rocs #thedemocracyproject
So blessed and excited to witness the 1st 🇨🇦 Citizenship Ceremony at the #SharonTempleNHS. @townofeg #thedemocracyproject #cdnhist
Architecture is about access to one’s place in the world. Democracy can happen on a small scale, even in neighbourhoods. For example, through community meetings or public forums about a proposed high rise, explains @BCLeeJr, founder/director at @colloqate.

Democracy is a paradox, according to "What is Democracy?" filmmaker @astradisastra. She sees it as a system full of tensions: balancing coercion and choice, freedom and equality, the role of experts while giving everyone a say.

"I just hope and pray that you would not imitate the worst of America", says @CornelWest. Canada needs to be committed to not just freedom and democracy, but love, kindness and tenderness too.
