Mission
At Democracy Rising, we aren’t fighting for the democracy we had—we’re fostering imagination and providing the roadmap that turns dreams of representative democracy into practice.
Through deep relationship building, cultivation of civic leaders, and proven strategies for lasting change, Democracy Rising brings a critical reality center stage: a representative democracy is already being built in our country. This is starting in our communities. We need only to foster it to see it grow.
FEATURED PROGRAMS:
The Democracy Transformation Project
The Democracy Transformation Project (DTP) hosts cohorts of multigenerational, multi-racial leaders to dream together, learn together, and deliberate together. Here we chart the course for a transformation democracy that represents us all.
Just Implementation Project
The Just Implementation Project partners with government entities, communities, and local leaders to ensure that the implementation of voting rights is inclusive, practical, and grounded in local power.
Consider supporting Democracy Rising.
We are working toward a more functional, representative democracy for all of us. We are the thread that sews together the imagination, wisdom, and work of the change makers already on the ground and in their communities creating a better Democracy.
Representative democracy is possible, and local communities are already building the roadmap for nationwide change. Across the nation, leaders are transforming public participation and breaking generational barriers—but we can’t keep up our important work without your help.
Every dollar you invest goes directly toward proving that representative democracy isn't just possible—it's already being built in communities across America.
