Kettering Foundation 113d ago

While Ruth Ben-Ghiat may be our newest senior fellow, her voice has already helped shape important conversations at the Kettering Foundation. At the inaugural #KetteringDemocracyPrize event in 2025, she shared a guiding rule of resistance: use every space and tool at your disposal. Moments like these remind us that defending freedom is a shared effort. When people step forward in their own ways, they honor those before them and carry that courage into the future.
