Building on the success of last year's Funders Summit on Democracy and Civic Life, this intimate convening will focus on The Persistent Threat of Authoritarian Populism. The retreat will provide funders a unique opportunity to learn with some of the foremost experts on this topic. Together we will explore what is causing the spread of authoritarian populism, what implications its rise has for American politics in the coming decades, and what can be done to address it. Expert contributors will include Ian Bassin, Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, and Yascha Mounk.
