OBAMA's latest

 

Hi there, Earlier this week in Berlin, President Obama joined a group of our Europe-based leaders who have participated in Foundation programs for an engaging discussion on the future of democracy in the region and around the world.

With democracy under threat, President Obama and the Obama Foundation are committed to supporting the next generation of leaders who will fight extremism, advocate for human rights, and inspire young people to get involved in their communities.  Each participant brought a unique perspective to the conversation—from experience working with NATO to founding a non-profit focused on the migration crisis—and gave me hope for the future of democracy. I hope you’ll read more about these changemakers and their conversation with President Obama here.
