Democracy Defenders of America is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-partisan organization focused on the intersection of formative civic education and relational community organizing. What do we do? We teach Americans like you how federal, state, county and local governments work through free, incentive-based, civic education so you understand why your participation is critical. Our team will work with you to show how you can effectively advocate for yourself, your friends and family and work with others to take collective action. If you decided you want to be certified as a Democracy Defender, then one of our coaches will show you how to use your existing contacts and relationships to help others learn how our democracy works. Our goal is to empower you and those you know to stand up for democracy together, even when you might have different points of view on a specific issue. We believe that by prioritizing the fundamentals of civics and values, we can strengthen the foundations of our democratic institutions, increase voter participation, and raise awareness in local decision-making.Join us.
