How We Practice Democracy: Together

This four-year initiative brings higher education institutions, students, scholars, and community organizations together in a space where we stop studying democracy from a distance and directly practice it in three ongoing steps.

Step 1: Dialogue

We have difficult conversations that bridge disagreements in respectful, nonpartisan settings.

Step 2: Community

Our dialogue reveals problems we can solve, and we unite to design actionable solutions.

Step 3: Action

We activate our networks democratic efforts on campuses, throughout communities, and in election systems nationwide.

The nation’s founders created American democracy in a shared act of independence, and it only survives if we preserve it together. Renewing Democracy’s Promise is our reminder that our freedoms are a continuous collaboration, the action we take to strengthen those liberties nationwide, and the nonpartisan, inclusive space celebrating our partners’ civic thinking and engagement.
