frontline fellows
Frontlines of Freedom is a groundbreaking network of dissidents and activists committed to championing democracy and freedoms around the world. By sharing their firsthand accounts from the frontlines of the fight against authoritarians, we seek to inspire Americans and others in the free world to value and protect their own freedoms.
Our Frontline Fellows are a vital network, fostering professional, personal, and political support for one another and the global pro-democracy movement.
Our network includes 100+ dissidents from over 40 countries. More Fellow pages will be featured soon!
