How We WorkWe Deserve True Democracy!
True democracy doesn’t include special interests buying elections or gerrymandered districts. That’s why we have to create the democracy our generation deserves.
To do this, the Task Force has three fundamental functions: researching democracy issues, community organizing, and establishing strategic alliances with other pro-democracy organizations (to optimize resources in pursuit of common objectives).
Advocacy
Researching issues relating to our national initiatives and educating the public about them
Organizing
Speaking with people, conducting polls and petitions, and holding public events and town hall meetings
Coalition-Building
Forming strategic alliances with other nonprofits to work towards our shared goals
We're integrating these three crucial aspects of movement building to strengthen our democracy!
