It has been quite the week, particularly in the US. We here at Feedback Labs are reflecting on how protests, movements, executive orders and checks and balances relate to feedback, and we’ll be sharing our thoughts in future pieces on this blog.

We recently completed our global Integrity Idol campaign – an annual TV show and citizen movement to find, film and celebrate honest government officials.
