Democracy is under threat all over the world today. 

 Here in the United States, we are keenly aware of the dangers of losing our system of government with our democratic system on the line in the upcoming elections.  

 This issue transcends politics.  It’s not about right or left, conservative or liberal. It’s about preserving the very foundation upon which our country was founded.  

 This is why I’ve invited my guest this week, Peggy O’Neal, to join me as we have a conversation about what’s at stake and what we need to do as citizens to become active participants, in the process, not just bystanders.  

Peggy has been coaching leaders in multi-national organizations throughout the world for more than 30 years. 

 She is a Certified Integral Master Coach and the author of two chapters in the Handbook of Personal and Organizational Transformation, the first book on cutting-edge theory and practice on small- and large-scale transformation. 

Prior to becoming a transformational leadership coach, Peggy practiced law for 12 years. She earned her J.D. from the Univ. of Arkansas, where she served as an Assistant Attorney General and served in President Clinton’s administration in the Federal Labor Relations Authority.

 In 2023, Peggy established Unite for Democracy, a grass-roots nonpartisan nonprofit mass involvement initiative dedicated to inviting all citizens to participate in the reshaping of democracy for a bright America. 

 Its purpose is to ensure that the United States of America remains a democracy and does not fall into a dictatorship.

 Its-of-a-kind educational events are designed to be welcoming and uplifting, helping everyday Americans find their voices and ways of participation that align with their perspectives, passions, and schedules.

​Through inclusive “neighborhood” gatherings, both online and in-person, Unite for Democracy facilitates discussions among millions, encouraging dialogue not merely about what’s not working, but about the nation we long for, and know in our hearts is possible.

 Join us as we discuss the importance of each of us as citizens becoming actively engaged in the democratic process if we want to preserve our system of government.

 By supporting individuals to actualize their democratic ideals, UFD aims to instill democracy as an energizing way of life. 

 Democracy is indeed, an inside job!
