Pro-Democracy Campaign

We advance an inclusive, participatory democracy by investing in grassroots leaders and enduring organizational capacity in the states.

In the wake of January 6th, as anti-voting laws swept the country and election-denying candidates sought public office, it was clear that the norms, rules, and practices of our democracy were in danger. The Pro-Democracy Center (501c3) and Pro-Democracy Campaign (501c4), collectively “PDC,” is a sustained strategy launched in the Fall of 2021 in response to these increasing and widespread attacks on voting rights and democratic institutions. We resource partner organizations with funding, expertise, and connections to help achieve a more inclusive and participatory democracy.

We’ve built a non-governing advisory committee of national leaders that help us ground our work to meet urgent needs and for the long haul. And, we’ve assembled a small central team of strategists who support state leaders with technical assistance, campaign know-how, and implementation.
