Alongside the 100+ sessions hosted at the 2020 CC Global Summit, we hosted three keynotes to reshape our perspectives, conversations, and attitudes as we near the end of 2020 and look forward to 2021. 

This video is of the final keynote of the CC Global Summit, "Democracy for Sale." This keynote featured CC’s CEO Catherine Stihler and Board Member Alek Tarkowski speaking with author Peter Geoghegan about his upcoming book, Democracy for Sale. In particular, the panel discussed how rightwing ideology, money, and social media have been used to hollow out modern democracies, particularly in North America and Europe. The links between fighting for our democracies and fighting for “open” and the public interest were discussed during this conversation.
