Our Coalition Partner, Freedom House launched the Ambassadors for Freedom program, a new global initiative bringing together a group of the world’s foremost democracy advocates to champion solutions to the 20-year decline in global freedom. Carolina Barrero, Nazanin Boniadi, Anaïse Kanimba, Vladimir Kara-Murza, and Anna Kwok will serve as the inaugural ambassadors. Ambassadors will work in partnership with Freedom House to spotlight threats to freedom, engage policymakers and the public, and inspire a new generation to safeguard democracy.
“Freedom House has always believed that lasting change is driven by courageous individuals willing to stand up for freedom, often at great personal cost,” said Freedom House CEO Jamie Fly. “These ambassadors are some of the world’s great champions of the power of freedom and speak from personal experience as targets of repressive regimes themselves. Their courage is an example to us all and we are thrilled to welcome them as Freedom House Ambassadors.”
