Courage is contagious.
The harmful and unlawful actions of the Trump administration and far-right policymakers, flood of news stories, and plans detailed by extremists in Project 2025 are designed to make us feel overwhelmed, angry, and disconnected. We, the people, can defy this through creating and strengthening community and building courage.
Since its founding in 2024, Together for Democracy has gathered hundreds of advocates, storytellers, scholars, policymakers, innovators, and local changemakers—all united by a single purpose: to build collective power and achieve a democracy that works for all of us.
We encourage you to join us. Create connection and hopefulness in your community by helping your friends, neighbors, or co-workers answer the question: “What can I do to impact positive change?” and host a Dinner for Democracy or Coffee for Change.
