What motivated Pacto pela Democracia to start this series was the prospect of sharing with the world some of the learnings and methodology developed throughout its six-year experience in advocating for the defense and strengthening of democracy.
Each handbook presents a theme that illustrates the unique work developed by the organization. From the defense of the electoral process all the way to the creation of pro-democracy coalitions, including advocacy strategies, mobilization of civil society, and creation of rapid responses to attacks against the democratic rule-of-law, the series aims not only to recapture Pacto’s history and work methodology but also to bolster its diffusion so that other organizations in Brazil and worldwide may take inspiration in different contexts.
What is Pacto pela Democracia (Pact for Democracy)?
Pacto pela Democracia is a civil society coalition whose mission is to coordinate and strengthen pro-democracy ecosystems in Brazil to help counter authoritarian threats, defend the Democratic Rule of Law, and revitalize the democratic environment in the country, improving the operations of institutions and promoting values and practices for democratic conviviality in Brazilian society. Comprising over 200 civil society organizations, Pacto is a non-partisan ideologically plural space that brings together and coordinates social actors that are highly diverse yet united in their commitment to democracy.
