LEADING DEMOCRACY DEFENDERS SUPPORT RDI

“We face an epochal challenge: Freedom is under attack by an axis of authoritarians—Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China. That’s why RDI is spearheading the effort to maintain the United States as the arsenal of democracy at the head of a global coalition. The stakes are high, but with RDI’s leadership, the task is not insurmountable, and I’m proud to support this organization.”

Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges

Commanding General, U.S. Army Europe (2014-17)

“RDI connects the dots. They’re changing the conversation on our college campuses. They take their cues from people who love freedom because they know what it’s like to live without it. That’s why I support RDI.”

Rep. Ritchie Torres

United States Congressman (D-NY)
