## Notes from 21 April 2026 [[2026-04-20|← Previous note]] ┃ [[2026-04-22|Next note →]] Read about [[Project 2029]] — assembled by former Democratic speechwriter [[Andrei Cherny]] and led by [[Chad Maisel]], a former Biden White House domestic policy official — is explicitly modelled on the [[Project 2025]] architecture. Its stated mission is to build a governing framework and a Day One blueprint for the next Democratic administration. --- The **[[Bridge Alliance]]** and the **[[National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)]]** launched a joint initiative in the US — the _[Fellows for Democracy and Public Service Initiative](https://www.bridgealliance.us/fellows-initiative)_. The program invited thought leaders and practitioners to submit actionable proposals across six thematic areas: public service leadership and civil service reform; voting and elections; bridging and dialogue; electoral systems reform; trustworthy information; and pluralism. Selected Fellows' work will feed into national campaigns and publications. The civil service reform pillar focuses specifically on modernizing the federal workforce (recruitment, development, and retention of public leaders).
