Description
Democracy Matters informs and engages college students and communities in efforts to strengthen our democracy. With campus-based chapters throughout the country, we focus on the issue of private money in politics and other pro-democracy reforms. Democracy Matters in this way encourages the emergence of a new generation of reform-minded leaders.
Student activism is essential to achieving the political reform that our country so badly needs. Our national network of Campus Coordinators mobilizes student ideas and enthusiasm to energize the national movement for campaign finance and democratic reform.
Democracy Matters emphasizes the importance of community activism. Socially conscious students and concerned citizens can create a powerful force for deepening democracy. See Community Resources.
The organizing experience that students derive from participating in Democracy Matters programs nurtures a lifelong commitment to civic action and social change. It prepares students for political involvement and leadership in a wide range of movements-from campaign finance reform, to social justice, civil rights, workers rights, and environmental reform.
The Democracy Matters Institute is supported in part by grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, the East Bay Foundation, the General Service Foundation, and the Proteus Fund.
