This week, we commemorated #InternationalDayOfDemocracy. We cannot have truly inclusive democracies unless women and gender-diverse political leaders are safe in all digital spaces.

The #InternationalDayofDemocracy, which is recognized by the #UnitedNations to promote and uphold the principles of #democracy, was on 15 September 2026.

Very pleased to contribute to this report from @rightscommaction.bsky.social for #InternationalDayofDemocracy yesterday.

An important reminder about the lack of action to promote democracy in the devolution process and the importance of adopting a rights-based approach for the places we live in...

we believe that protecting the environment requires active citizenship. 🌍

Democracy is strongest when more people can participate, speak freely, and hold power accountable. Rights gained through generations of activism can also be lost—so protecting democracy is everyone's responsibility.

Democracy doesn’t end when the votes are counted.

It also lives in the questions we ask, the standards we demand, the information we share and how we treat people who disagree with us.

Democracy belongs to the people — between elections too.

Unions are critical institutions that make it possible for everyday people to shape the societies they live in. When workers organize, they’re not just bargaining for better wages and benefits—they’re building democracy from the ground up.

On International Day of Democracy, we celebrate the power of people coming together to create change. 🌍✊

From the grassroots up, democracy is strongest when everyone has a voice and the power to shape their communities.
