Founded in 1998, The Democracy Council advocates freedom, human rights, equal opportunity, and public participation across the globe. The Council's work is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the belief that a vibrant civil society and accountable public administration remain fundamental tenets of democratic societies. The rights of all human beings, governed and governing, should be respected. The right to organize and advocate on one's own behalf is a fundamental right of all people. Discrimination, repression, and torture must be resisted at all levels - at all times. The Council maintains a proven track record of working with both local and national government offices and civil society organizations to build the capacity of those pushing to promote these values. Through civic engagement and education, public testimony and partnerships with civil society organizations, the Council works to ensure that respect for rights and the promotion of public participation in an accountable and productive manner are priorities of transitioning states.

Tansa is an independent, nonprofit, investigative newsroom based in Tokyo. Our investigations reveal - and aim thereby to end - wrongdoing by the powerful, such as government bodies and corporations. We approach our work by considering what needs to change in order to achieve redress for injustice and ensure that others are not harmed by similar wrongdoing in the future. In 2020, Japan ranked 66th in Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index. The country's major media organizations, prioritizing their own business interests, often fail to sufficiently monitor power or to speak up for the victims of its abuses. We believe independent, investigative journalism is essential for the Japanese public. As governments, corporations, and criminals increasingly work across borders, so too must the journalists who investigate them. In 2018, Tansa became Japan's first official member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), which as of February 2021 is comprised of 203 independent, nonprofit media organizations in 80 countries.

Despite the promise of equal educational opportunity, the United States has largely failed to provide low-income children access to a high-quality education. The difference in academic performance between poor and affluent students, known as the achievement gap, has serious implications for the future life opportunities of students and for our society at large. Closing the achievement gap is both an economic and moral imperative - the modern frontier of the civil rights movement. The mission of Achievement First is to deliver on the promise of equal educational opportunity for all of America's children. We believe that all children, regardless of race or economic status, can succeed if they have access to a great education. Achievement First schools will provide all our students with the academic and character skills they need to graduate from top colleges, to succeed in a competitive world and to serve as the next generation of leaders for our communities. Achievement First will continue to create public charter schools that close the achievement gap, while also looking to partner with other like-minded, reform-oriented organizations to maximize our collective impact. Together, we will continue our work until every child is given access to a great education and enjoys the real freedom that flows from that opportunity.

Life at Living Nazareth is not just about education but formation of the whole person (intellectual, human, and spiritual), accomplished primarily through the culture and spirit of the school, which fosters and promotes the contemplative life, especially through spiritual direction and daily Mass. We insist on a schedule that is not burdensome or exhausting, prioritizing a spirit of silence and a sense of wonder while allowing students valuable time with family and ample freedom to explore their own good pursuits. We aim to lead students to view learning properly as leisure rather than a task that begins and ends with the school day, and foster a spirit of gratitude in understanding that the gift of knowledge is something to be cherished rather than a burdensome checklist to dispense with as soon as possible. Students are likewise entrusted with great responsibility for disposing themselves well to receive this formation. Just as well cultivated soil may produce a variety of plants, so do well disposed students blossom and bear fruit in a variety of ways. No one way is given priority over another but all are rightly recognized as unique notes in a symphony composed by God, one that all well formed students will have ears to hear and in which they will justly delight, moving them to return thanks and praise to their Creator, at once both the majestic Author of that joyous harmony and their closest and dearest Friend.
