Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Concluded a productive two-day board meeting at @concord-europe.bsky.social. My focus was on strategic concerns and articulating the new political realities of the Baltics and CEE. It’s unfortunate that recent shifts in Latvia also have confirmed our fears, but we must now adapt and act. #CSOlife
