        Protests As Democracy

Malicious, unjust treatment of immigrants. A proposed budget designed to put money in the pockets of billionaires while cutting services that millions of people depend on. Executive overreach and blatant disregard of due process. All this and more have sparked protests across the country over the last few weeks. The people are speaking out about what we want for our country through mass demonstrations—a fundamentally democratic act with deep roots in American history.
But our research into how Americans think about democracy has surfaced something we need to be attentive to in this moment: While people are quick to identify voting as a cornerstone of democracy, other forms of democratic participation aren’t as top-of-mind. Mass demonstrations were rarely understood as a way for people to make their voices heard.

        Playing With Purpose: A New Era of Civic Athlete Leadership

Across the nation, a new wave of civic-minded student-athletes stepped forward this past year through the 2024-25 Engaged Athlete Fellowship, using their athletic platforms to spark meaningful civic change. Now entering its third year, this fellowship is a cornerstone program of The Team, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to integrating civic engagement into college athletics. Guided by their mission to “develop teammates, inspire leaders, empower citizens,” The Team equips student-athletes with the tools and support necessary to transform that vision into action. The Team operates as a fiscally sponsored project of the Bridge Alliance Education Fund, which also serves as the parent organization of The Fulcrum.
From August 2024 through June 2025, a diverse cohort of student-athletes from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), major universities like Harvard, Duke, and Vanderbilt, and smaller colleges from across the country participated in intensive leadership training. Representing 16 states and 15 athletic conferences, these fellows received personalized coaching, professional mentorship, leadership curriculum, and stipends supporting their community-focused projects.

        U.S. Refines Military Strategy in Africa As Development Programs Face Cuts

WASHINGTON – Both the Trump administration and its critics agree the U.S. risks losing influence in Africa to rivals like China and Russia. But while the administration argues its commercially driven foreign policy will reverse the trend, critics warn that retreating from development and diplomacy could deepen the problem. 
Under the Trump administration, the U.S. plans to consolidate embassies, scale back USAID operations, and pivot towards a security and commercial driven approach on the continent. While U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) defense officials insist their core missions within Africa will remain intact, civilian experts and lawmakers argue that abandoning diplomatic and development tools opens the door for strategic competitors to fill the void and fails to take into account what would best benefit African countries.
