NEW CONFERENCE RECAPS: Amy McIsaac discusses her biggest takeaways from Media Impact Funders Media Impact Forum and the Democracy Funders Network gathering in Boulder! On the Media Impact Forum: "Nicholas Ma pointed out that there is no country or currency from 1,000 years ago that still exists today. But what endures? Music endures, art endures, faith endures. These are the things that connect us as humans. Countries and currency divide us. The things that connect us are the things that endure." On Democracy Funders Network: "I was struck during this conference that while it is clear there is a good ground game going in support of democracy, the pro-democracy space also needs an air game. In other words, how is the pro-democracy movement winning over hearts and minds?" See the recaps: pacefunders.org/recaps
