International Day of Democracy is Thursday, Sept. 15; Kettering Foundation starting social-media campaign Mon. - Entrepreneur Generations

The International Day of Democracy, started by the United Nations in 2007, is Thursday, Sept. 15. It may never have been more timely, and journalists at all levels in all countries have a stake in it. So do their audiences, which probably need a reminder of that.

The Kettering Foundation, which asks "What does it take to make democracy work as it should?" and focuses public deliberation as part of democracy, says it will mount a social-media campaign to direct attention to the International Day of Democracy starting Monday, Sept. 12.

"We want to flood social media," Kettering says. "Participation is easy. Simply take a piece of paper and write in large print your answer to the prompt: #DemocracyIs ______________. And feel free to write your answer in your language of choice. Then, take a selfie and post it! When you post, remember to use the hashtags: #DemocracyIs and #KetteringFoundation."
