As authoritarian regimes tighten their grip worldwide and the US reevaluates its pro-democracy funding, the global movement for democracy faces a growing crisis: a severe funding shortfall. While autocrats pour billions into repression and propaganda, pro-democracy activists often operate with limited support. This timely panel will bring together leaders in philanthropy and advocacy to discuss how funders can rise to the moment and scale resources to defend freedom around the world.

Moderator: Margaret Hoover, host of PBS' "Firing Line"
Pema Doma, Executive Director of Students for a Free Tibet
Álvaro Salas, President of The Reynolds Foundation
Damon Wilson, President and CEO of the National Endowment for Democracy
Dr. Gregory Wolcott, Director, Individual Freedom & Free Markets at the John Templeton Foundation
