This Country Needs Your Help.

The most impactful way to safeguard democracy is by the act of voting. In some US states, around half of eligible citizens are not registered to vote, and even in the most registered states, approximately one out of every five are still unregistered (Source: US Census Bureau). And, many who are registered never bother to vote. In Midterm Elections (such as the upcoming elections in November 2022), usually, only about 40% of Americans vote. At a time where many states are trying to make it more and more difficult to register and vote, efforts to motivate and register citizens are that much more crucial to keeping real democracy alive.

Submit one or more of the forms below to learn more about the ways you can safeguard democracy with us.

  • The most enjoyable and memorable way to share conversation, discuss important issues, and build a community around those issues is over a good meal. So… that is what we are doing! We are catalyzing a movement of people who care deeply about democracy, who want to remind and share with others why they might feel the same way, and, mobilize large numbers of people to take concrete action that will help protect, support, and strengthen democracy. And, we believe that one of the best ways to do all that is by volunteers hosting “Democracy Dinners.”

    Please fill out the simple volunteer form (accessible below) and you will be on your way.

    We will then get in touch with you and provide you with a few options for suggested formats, some suggested conversation topics to discuss at your dinner, and instructions for helping people take action (built around voter registration and/or otherwise helping to lead pro-democracy/pro-voting organizations) with the inspiration they received at your event.

 

 

  • The most impactful way by far that you can support democracy in 2022 is to volunteer to become a Democracy Leader volunteer and help registers others in time to have an impact on the 2022 midterm elections.

    All American elections in the past were important, of course. Yet, the 2022 midterms elections (and the 2024 presidential election) are seemingly the most consequential regarding our system of democracy since the founding of our nation. Never before have so many sought organized ways to weaken democracy and limit participation. Together, we cannot allow that to occur.

    Our website will allow you to easily invite friends, family, and others to check their own registration status and/or to register.

    In addition, our website will enable you to manage “volunteer teams” and/or identify and keep track of those you have targeted to invite to register… kind of like in a “walk-a-thon” approach (you will even be able to compete with all the other teams to see who can register the most people.)

 

  • It is not only voter registration that will determine the success or failure of so many valiant efforts to support, protect, and strengthen democracy. We must together also make sure that all those efforts (including our own organization) have the funding we/they need. So, please:

    Donate to us to help us reach more people and support more dinners and voter registration, etc., (just click on the DONATE button in the menu bar at the top of the page).

    Volunteer to help raise money for Democracy Dinners from others and/or lead a team of fundraising volunteers.

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
