Keseb is a nonpartisan, pro-democracy
nonprofit organization.

We are building a transnational civil society ecosystem for learning, collaboration, and innovation to counter authoritarianism and advance inclusive and resilient democracies.

The global order is nearing a tipping point, and if democracy’s defenders do not work together to help guarantee freedom for all people, the authoritarian model will prevail.”
