Americans are Losing Faith in Democracy,

and authoritarianism is stepping into the gap. There has been a 25-year decline in public trust in institutions and optimism about the next generation’s future. Without long-term thinking in the U.S. democracy field, we are ill-prepared for the changes that will impact America in the coming decades; we must build our democracy proactively, in anticipation for ever-evolving circumstances – such as the climate change and mass migrations. Democracy 2076 seeks to imagine and develop democracy that is effective and responsive for the next generation as well as representative, and resilient in the face of change.
