Local government is on the front lines of democracy every day and for well over 100 years this profession has existed to protect it. It is messy and there have been – and will continue to be - periods when the principles of democracy are challenged. 

The Partnership for Public Service surveyed Americans for their 2024 report “The State of Public Trust in Government” where only 29% say democracy is working in the U.S. today compared with 68% who say it is not and only 15% believe the government is transparent. Local governments are committed to democratic (with a small “d”) principles to do our part in advancing public trust. 

This free, member-only webinar with Elizabeth Doll, Braver Angels’ Director of Politics, is in a fireside chat format and will offer actionable strategies to help local governments build public trust in democracy.
