Democracy needs to do better— at delivering & at listening. With @rakeshrajani, I reflect on how the open gov agenda often misses the economic pain points citizens face—and why we must broaden our base of civil society and direct citizen engagement. bit.ly/chat-sanjay-rakesh

At #AméricaAbierta, we must confront the greatest challenge of our time: restoring trust in democracy. We have seen citizens’ discontent & anger as democracies have failed to improve their lives or tackle their pain points: inflation, immigration, inequality, corruption, climate.

We have great hope in Brazil under @LulaOficial as OGP Co-Chair. Brazil is leading the Americas in the fight to fortify democracy & advance citizen participation at scale. This can enable OGP governments to listen & respond better to people’s pain points, renewing democracy.
