Spotlight On Courage

A functioning democracy is rooted in reliance on and respect for the rule of law, our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Upholding these principles requires understanding the issues and challenges we face and coming to a consensus to find the best solutions. Supporting these values transcends partisanship.

At the Network for Responsible Public Policy, we are a non-partisan organization committed to fostering informed and civil discourse. We bring together distinguished experts to inform and educate the public on complex issues, promote dialogue, bridging divides, and pursue common ground solutions.

Today, democracy is under threat, and its foundations are being tested. We will all need to defend our history and ensure our future. While not everyone speaks out, some do—and their courage matters. These brave individuals from all walks of life are taking risks to protect the democratic ideals we hold dear.

The Network for Responsible Public Policy is proud to shine a Spotlight on these brave voices. We welcome your suggestions and additions to our list as we continue this vital work together.
